Procreate Fonts

Procreate ships with three default fonts.

The Procreate fonts are Eina, Impact, and Jack Armstrong BB.

Eina is a neutral sans-serif font. This clean and readable typeface is perfect for simple and serious use.

Impact is a bold, attention-getting font ideal for headers and signage.

Jack Armstrong BB is a playful comic inspired font. It's designed for comic letters and casual design.

iOS System Fonts

Procreate gives you access to every font in iOS.

Your iPad comes with almost a hundred built-in fonts you can use in your art and design. These typefaces range from playful to professional. They include cursive, capitalized, handwritten and type-based. The number of fonts available varies depending on which version of iOS is on your device.

Browse Fonts

Preview every font available on your iPad with a quick scroll through the Font list.

To view the fonts available, add some Text to your document. Go to the Edit Text panel, and look through the Font list. The listed Fonts are in alphabetical order.

The name of each font in the list also displays the appearance of the font. You can see what each font looks like by scrolling through the list.

Alternately, tap any font in the Font list to see it applied to your selected Text.

Import Fonts

Discover the different ways to import your own fonts into Procreate.

You can import fonts through Procreate's interface. You can also use AirDrop, the Files App, drag-and-drop, or bulk import your favorite fonts.

Procreate can import TTC, TTF, and OTF files.

If your font downloads as a ZIP file, you must unzip it to import it into Procreate.

Drag and Drop

Open the iOS Files app in Split View. Navigate to your fonts folder, and Drag and Drop your chosen font from Files into Procreate. It will appear in the Fonts list.

Files App
