Using fonts in Android

From the creator

Android O and Support Library 26 introduce new ways of working with fonts. You can now bundle fonts as resources by adding the font file in the res/font folder and use it like any other asset in XML layouts, styles or programmatically via the Typeface. Instead of bundling your font files in the APK, you can now let the APK download them. Your app’s size is decreased and overall system health is improved, since multiple APKs can use the same font.
