Google might soon introduce a new customization feature in its first-party keyboard app that will let users switch to a different font. This feature is currently in development, but we’ve managed to get an early look at it in the latest Gboard beta.

Gboard version 14.4.06.646482735 beta includes evidence pointing toward an upcoming Font setting in the keyboard Preferences menu. As you can see in the following screenshots, this setting will let you switch from Google’s default font for Gboard to the System default font for a more consistent look.
