Fonts for Cricut and cutting machines

A cutting machine follows the outline of every letter with a blade, so thin hairlines, tiny gaps and heavy ornament tear or lift off. Thick monoline and rounded faces cut best, and so do joined scripts with sturdy strokes.

With a script font, bring the letters closer together and weld them, so that the machine cuts one shape instead of many overlapping ones. First install the font on your computer: Design Space shows the fonts installed there.
