How to Add Fonts to Affinity Designer on iPad

Learn how to add fonts to the Affinity Designer app on iPad with this step by step tutorial.

In order to really maximize your design capabilities with Affinity Designer, you will really need to use some installed fonts. The pre-installed fonts are great but limited. Purchasing fonts from Font Bundles will give you premium quality fonts with a commercial license. Choosing the perfect font can enhance your design so you stand out among the competition.

If you are using the desktop version, make sure to check out this guide on using fonts in Affinity Designer.

Step 1 - Download and unzip your font.

In this tutorial we are using the Hey Girl font by Angèle Kamp. A feminine font like Hey Girl will be great for this project.

Step 2- Open Affinity Designer

When you open Affinity Designer you will see the main interface. In the top right toolbar click on the Settings icon. It is represented by a small cog.
