Custom Fonts in Textra
Textra has a lot of customization features, such as lots of options for color, bubble style, and emoji style.
However, while Textra seems to be good at everything else, font customization doesn't really seem like a strong suit of theirs.
Font customization is what gives an app it's personality. If you're a fan of a cursive script font, that means you're fancy and like the reminder of a handwritten text. A pixelated font means you're a gamer and spend most of your life online. A serif font tells you that someone just likes things simple and plain. All of this is personality, and with this idea, Textra can be styled exactly how you would like it!
As you know, Textra has only three included fonts:
• Textra Default (a.k.a. Roboto Light)
• Gilroy
• Your system font
You aren't free to customize your font as much as you can customize other things in Textra. For some, two of these fonts are from the same typeface, Roboto. Now, what if we're sick of Roboto, and aren't a fan of Gilroy either?
That's where this idea comes in. By adding a feature where you can select a font installed from the internet (e.g. Cufon Font, DaFont, 1001 Web Fonts, Google Fonts) with .woff, .woff2, .ttf, or .otf font files, a person can now have limitless possibilities on how they can customize their texting app to look like.
Adding this feature would make their user's Textra app, theirs.
