Years ago, before I bought the Cricut Explore, I had one major issue with my old Cricut Expressions machine: I could only use the fonts that either came with the machine or I had bought (and back then, a font cartridge cost anywhere from $10-$30!!!) I watched my friends and family who owned Silhouette machines (Cricut’s main competitor) make awesome typography artwork projects, labels, and more using any font they had on their computer, and I was incredibly jealous.

I’ve really enjoyed breaking down the various techniques I use to make all my own projects into easily digestible steps (so far we’ve covered: The Essentials | Working with Vinyl | Importing Your Own Images | Mastering Attach) and so many of you have found them helpful! Today I want to show you how to import and use your own fonts within the Cricut Design Space platform!

And while I find the Cricut Explore and the corresponding Design Space software pretty intuitive, the overwhelming response to my “Using the Cricut Explore for Home Decor” tutorials tells me otherwise. You all know I rely on my Cricut Explore for a variety of projects around our home. Affiliate links used you can read my Policies & Disclosures here. I take great care to only work with companies and brands that are a good fit for me, my home, my blog, and my readers. Obviously this all WAY exceeded my attention span, but I wanted to share it for those who may want to tackle this process.This post about How to Use Your Own Fonts in Cricut Design Space is sponsored by FontBundles. 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.
SINGLE LINE FONT FOR CRICUT ZIP
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.
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)
