The default Xiaomi font, MiSans, is technically competent. It was designed specifically for MIUI. However, many power users cite three reasons for switching to Camphor Pro:

Since it is a Pro variable font, Xiaomi would map its weights to system elements: The default Xiaomi font, MiSans , is technically competent
| System Element | Camphor Pro Weight | Rationale | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Status Bar time/battery | Regular (400) | Neutral, non-distracting | | Notification titles | Medium (500) | Strong hierarchy without bold overload | | Settings menu items | Regular (400) | Maximizes scanability | | Active toggle labels | Semibold (600) | Indicates selection state | | Always-On Display (AOD) | Light (300) | Reduces OLED burn-in & glow effect | | Keyboard keycaps | DemiBold (550) | Crisp edges on small keycaps | Camphor Pro would transform the Xiaomi reading experience

Does Camphor Pro work on HyperOS? Yes, but with one major change: HyperOS has a new dynamic font engine that supports variable fonts (fonts with infinite weights between Thin and Black). The old "Regular" static font still works, but for best results, you need a Camphor Pro Variable version.
