Here’s one example of a writing font with the setting on ‘draw’:

That looks very cool with some fonts and projects, and I’ll include a few of those in the list of free fonts to use for writing.Ī ‘writing’ font, on the other hand, will have a single line, rather than an outline. So on most fonts, even if they’re ‘single cut’ fonts, Cricut will draw the outline of the font. When you change the setting from cut to draw, Design Space looks at the vector lines. In order to use pens with your Cricut machine, you (currently) need to change the setting to ‘draw’. I have to say, I was very disappointed when I filtered for writing fonts in Design Space and found that all of the fonts were $4.99 and up! I let my Cricut Access subscription lapse, but rather than renew (since I’m on a very tight budget!), I decided it was a good opportunity to do some research! Why you need special fonts Please note: some posts may contain affiliate links, and I may receive a small commission if you make a qualifying purchase. I have a few gift-giving events coming up soon, though, and – since it’s almost unavoidable these days! – have already started thinking about Christmas gifts… so I decided it was time to see how my Cricut could help me with cards and gift tags. As a result, I haven’t done much with pens since I purchased my Cricut Explore Air II. Obviously this all WAY exceeded my attention span, but I wanted to share it for those who may want to tackle this process.I mentioned in an earlier post that I was a late adopter to the Cricut world because I thought it was just for paper crafts like scrapbooking… and while I love the finished projects I’ve seen, I definitely don’t have the patience for that kind of craft. This does not truly make a writing font, rather it's more like using Phonto to curve text, you do this for each bit of text you want to write, and import it. Rather than printing in the "bubble" outline, and filling in with a pen, you fill in the outline digitally before sending it to print. The process is basically a digital version of filling in the font. This involved using a vector editing program like Inkscape. You can't just convert "normal" fonts to writing fonts. But when it comes to writing, it's not that simple.

Now for all other projects, I just download free fonts off the internet, install them, an cricut cuts them just fine. There are more options if you keep scrolling, I only screenshotted a portion here, but there are none that I love. Look specifically under photos, there is an album of writing samples kept there.

To see when I add more samples, follow Crafting With Fields Of Heather on facebook.

Weld is not necessary for print, where the letters do not touch - but it's really important for cursive writing) If the centers of letters fill in when you weld, try sizing the text to something ridiculous like 200 wide, weld, then resize back to the smaller size. That will tell the machine to write it as one smooth word, and not to write each letter individually. If you are using a cursive font, be sure to weld it before writing.

DrawingFonts - Cricut can DRAW, not just write! Checkout these fun fonts that cricut does a great job drawing (think subway art, or posters).

I only install a few that I use frequently and know space "normally" or without too much effort.

I keep my writing fonts in zip files in a folder, then use fontlab pad (which can read the fonts right from the zip files!) to create my text and upload it to design space.

Using Fontlab Pad - Design space does not read fonts properly, so if you install them and use them in design space, there will be weird spacings in many of these fonts.

Alternative (not cricut brand) markers that work well in the Explore Machines.

I make most of my samples at 1 inch tall, and they are sorted by which pens I used - Starting with the super thin precise v5 and working down to the larger markers.

Results will vary based on which pen you use, and how large your text is.

You can avoid this by using a writing font in Cricut Design Space (Most cost around $5) OR, by choosing a free font thin enough that the lines "collapse on themselves" (Those are the fonts listed here)

The Problem - Hollow Text - The Cricut machine, when writing, will follow the same path it would if it was cutting.
