Free fonts for Cricut, Silhouette and vinyl cutting

Cutting machines turn letters into physical shapes, so the best fonts have connected scripts (fewer pieces to weed), solid strokes without hairlines, and simple counters that do not tear. This collection gathers scripts, chunky display faces and handwritten styles that behave well in Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio and Brother CanvasWorkspace.

Install the TTF or OTF on your computer; both apps read system fonts. For scripts, use the app's letter-spacing or welding tools so the letters overlap and cut as one piece.

Cutting lettering without the headaches

Weld connected scripts before cutting, keep text above 1.5 cm cap height for vinyl, and avoid faces with tiny inner shapes that are painful to weed. For layered designs use bold fonts with even stroke width. Mirror the text for iron-on. Test one word on scrap vinyl before cutting the full design.

Questions about fonts for cricut and silhouette

Do Cricut and Silhouette accept fonts downloaded from here?
Yes. Install the TTF or OTF on Windows or Mac and the design software lists it automatically. Cricut Design Space on iPad reads fonts installed through a font-manager app.
Which fonts are easiest to weed?
Bold sans serifs, rounded display faces and connected scripts with thick strokes. Thin, high-contrast serifs and distressed fonts create many tiny pieces.
Can I sell products made with these fonts?
The license file in each ZIP decides. Personal projects and gifts are always fine; shop products usually need a commercial license, which many designers offer cheaply.
