Procreate Fonts

Procreate ships with four default fonts.

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

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.

Smiley Sans is a flexible and robust condensed, oblique typeface that works using both English and Simplified Chinese characters.

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.
