I’m sure some of you thought about using cool fonts instead of boring ones when you organize your class notes on an iPad.

So today, here’s some information on a free font site called DaFont and detailed instructions on how to download, install, and use fonts on your iPad.

About DaFont

DaFont is one of the most wide-known free font sites.

There are so many fonts in DaFont, so you’ve got a wide range of choices that you could make.

One of the things that is good about DaFont is that fonts are categorized under themes. So by selecting the theme you like, it is easier for you to quickly find the font you like. There are about 72 themes that you can choose from.

After you select the theme, click More options below and check the box that says 100% free. By doing so, you can choose the font that is 100% free.

Why DaFont?

1️⃣ No need to sign up.

2️⃣ Many fonts under many different themes.

3️⃣ New fonts updated regularly.

4️⃣ A lot of fonts that are 100% free.

However, if you are planning to use the font for a commercial use, you need to check the license agreement of the corresponding font. Normally, fonts under 100% free are fonts that can be used for both personal and commercial use, but just to make sure.
