The iPad User Guide provides information about adding fonts to your iPad. The Guide is a rich source of frequently overlooked information about your iPad and iPadOS. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:

Here is a direct link to the relevant section of the Guide for adding fonts to your iPad:

Many fonts are licensed - and as such require payment of a fee. Others are royalty free - and can be downloaded and installed without payment for their use. That said, many font-installer Apps may be a paid-App in their own right.


There are also Apps that include a font-installer - one being Adobe Creative Cloud:

This App allows you to install and use many Adobe and royalty-free fonts without charge; you simply need to have a free Adobe account - and be signed-in to your account to install fonts. The font-installation may need to be occasionally refreshed, but this is minor inconvenience for the benefit gained.


A popular (low-cost) third-party font installer App, often recommended within the Apple Support Community, is AnyFont:

You should be aware that while installed fonts are usable with many productivity Apps, this feature is by no means universal; Apps themselves must support installed fonts.
