How to Choose the Right Fonts for Cricut

There are a bunch of fonts out there to choose from, but how do you know which ones are best for Cricut and other cutting machines?

In general, you want to use fonts that are big enough and smooth enough around the edges that they’ll be easy for the machine to read and cut. Additionally, you want to make sure the fonts you use are texture-free (they should all be solid). They should be fairly thick so you don’t have to worry about your paper, vinyl, or other material tearing.

Smooth Edges, Not Rough

It sounds obvious, but you should avoid fonts with rough edges because they’ll be difficult to cut. Opt to use fonts with smooth edges, like cursive fonts, clean sans-serif fonts, and calligraphy fonts that have thick letters.

The smooth edges of these types of fonts will make the weeding process (the process in which you cut out the letters from the paper or vinyl) much more… well, smooth! You won’t have to worry about ending up with letters that have jagged uneven letters, because you’ll have a smooth and clear guideline to follow as you cut them out.

Avoid Textured Fonts

Additionally, you’ll also want to avoid fonts with texture. This includes grunge fonts, brush fonts, or any other font that isn’t filled in completely with a solid color.

For the machine to read and cut your text correctly, it’s important to make sure that the font you use is nice, smooth, and solid throughout.

Not Too Thin

Finally, it’s important to make sure the font you use is at an appropriate thickness. You’ll almost always want to avoid lighter-weight fonts because they can be delicate and harder to cut out from paper or vinyl without tearing your design.

Thicker fonts are usually okay to use, but the font you choose doesn’t need to be excessively heavy. Just ensure it’s at a weight that allows you to cut your design without tearing it apart.

What Fonts Can You Use with Cricut Design Space?

Cricut Design Space comes with a selection of fonts that are ready to use in your designs, but you can also add to your collection if you find other fonts you like. When it comes to system fonts (the fonts you add from your computer), you can add pretty much any font you like, but it’s important to make sure you keep in mind the tips above when selecting your font so your project will turn out looking its best.

Additionally, be sure to double-check that the font file you’re using is intended to work with cutting machines. Some fonts may have incompatibilities, so keep this in mind as well when you’re deciding which fonts to use in your Cricut.
