Android Oreo introduced a new way to set custom fonts. But the official documentation page does not mention how to set some custom font to be default across the whole application.

We have theme attributes like android:textColorPrimary etc which allow to globally set some default typography related propertis.

Is there something like this available for a new custom font feature? If yes is it backported by support library to be used on devices below 8.0?

Yes, I'v used it with my app theme:

enter image description here

And in your app theme just add it as a fontFamily:

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
   . . . ...
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/demo</item>
</style>

Currently it's worked on 8.0 until 4.1 API Jelly Bean And that's a wide range.
