I frequently receive questions about free fonts for Cricut machines, including where to find them, how to install them, and which ones are good to use. In this blog post, I will answer all of your burning questions with a comprehensive guide on using fonts with your Cricut machine. This information applies to all Cricut machines, including the Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore series, Cricut Venture, Cricut Joy, and Joy Xtra.
What fonts can you use on your Cricut?
There are two types of fonts that you can access in Cricut Design Space:
- Cricut fonts – these fonts are right in Cricut Design Space. Some are free for all, some are included with an Access subscription, and some you will need to purchase. You can use these without installing anything else.
- System fonts – these are the fonts on your computer or mobile device, which can also be used on your Cricut. These are referred to as “system” fonts in Cricut Design Space. This means that any font that you can put on your device can be used with your Cricut machine.
