   //or to support all versions use
Typeface typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.myfont);
 textView.setTypeface(typeface);

and apply this style to TextView

you can also Create your own font family

- Right-click the font folder and go to New > Font resource file. The New Resource File window appears.
