As answered before, Typeface is a really good thing. Secondly what kind of userbase are you supporting? Try adding settings for increasing font size change etc. And according to different people ( visually impaired etc) you can add different fonts. Also for better experience, add swipe gestures, or actions on long click, and other gestures. To Use this click on this link: These things might also improve user experience.

You could change the text its font. Fonts are Typfaces in Android.

You could also add custom fonts to your application. Tutorial: http://vimaltuts.com/android-tutorial-for-beginners/android-custom-font-example
