I often get asked, “How do you get those swooshy lines?” or “Where do I find the letters with the hearts?” (True Type fonts do include the features, as well, but they’re not as easily accessible with that particular file type.) Unfortunately, Design Space’s latest edition doesn’t quite fully support OpenType features as readily as font designers like me would want. OpenType fonts (as opposed to True Type) are extremely robust with features and extra design components, and newer versions of software make it easy to find & use those features. For most folks, that’s not a problem – I would assume that anyone purchasing fonts for their Cricut machine would likely only be using them for the machine…but if you’re a designer like I am, and you routinely make use of fonts in your daily work, it sure is handy to be able to use said fonts in whatever design program you’d like…whether that be using the font in Cricut Design Space, Illustrator, Photoshop…you get the point, right? So, what’s the difference between using Cricut Fonts versus finding your own custom fonts, downloading, & installing them? The fact that you get to keep the font files, that’s what! While the Cricut Access subscription is super handy and full of good stuff, you don’t actually get to have the fonts installed on your computer – they’re only available through Design Space. You can purchase these fonts onesie-twosie, but it’s also important to note that if you have the Cricut Access subscription, you’ll get access to over 500 fonts in Cricut Design Space!

It’s a quite robust selection, and it does make it quite easy to add to your font collection via the Design Space interface.

Whenever you do, you’ll be faced with a lengthy list of fonts that are available to you, either for free or for an additional (usually small) fee, directly from Cricut.

You’ll notice that, in addition to system fonts, you also have the option to select Cricut Fonts as one of the filtering options.
