Change iPhone Notes Font To Helvetica

If you’re like me, and let’s be honest you’re not (stop trying, it’s just sad) then you jailbroke your iPhone long before Al Gore invented the internet. For the rest of you’s there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy the hipster bliss of Helvetica in your iPhone’s Notes App.

So here’s the deal, the iPhone’s “Notes” app default font is Marker Felt — lame i know. Luckily, there is a workaround that will enable you write notes in the fresher Helvetica. Simply add a special symbol-based international keyboard (Korean, Japanese and Chinese or whatevs) and then when you’re next in “Notes,” change the language (via the globe button), type something, and then change it back to English.

Everything you type after that will be in Helvetica, rather than Marker Felt — thanks and praise be to the font gods and Mashable for the head’s up on this trick!

I didn’t even type the hipster ▲, they just appeared
