Typography has always been an integral part of Simpletext. While it comes with what I consider to be amongst the finest fonts ever designed, I also realized that typography is subjective. You may have your own personal favourites.

Even if you like the default fonts included in Simpletext, you may also want to change things up after a while. That’s why I’ve added support for custom fonts in the latest version of Simpletext (V4.3).

This opens up a whole new world of typographic possibilities. To get you started, here are eight beautiful free fonts you can use in Simpletext.
