A feature in Andalusi

Install Custom Fonts in Andalusi

Download any font you love and add it to Andalusi to use in your designs, Arabic and Latin fonts from outside the app.

What is this feature?

Andalusi's install-fonts feature lets you add any external font — Arabic or Latin — to the app and use it in your designs alongside the built-in library. Download the font file from any trusted site, install it from your installed-fonts list, and it appears ready to use when you type on your photos and designs, with no app restart. Perfect for using your brand font or a distinctive font you can't find in the library.
