Secondly, you can download fonts from online. Head to a font website of your choice (if you do a search for fonts you will see lots of options). 

If you want to buy some really cool font sets you can head to sites such as The Hungry JPEG and The Creative Market. 

Once you find the font you want click on the link to download it. You should next see the option to open in iFont. Don’t worry if it does not come up automatically. Simply go to the Files app on your iPad, tap and hold where you see the font file you downloaded (usually a ZIP file). When you see share come up just select ‘Copy to iFont’.

3. Install The Fonts

Downloading fonts won’t automatically install them into the programs you want. You will need now to add fonts to iPad.
