Free Fonts For Writing With Cricut - With Fine Line Markers


Free Writing Fonts For Cricut 
The Cricut machine, when writing, will follow the same path it would if it was cutting.  So most text will appear "hollow", or as a "bubble"  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).  Although these are not truly free writing fonts, they are free fonts that will write without bubbling.

Quick Links:

These fonts all work well with the .05 markers - The thin end of the Target Dollar Spot Markers, The Jot Markers from the Dollar Tree, etc.  Most of these also work with the thin end of the Leisure Arts Markers, but the Leisure Arts thin tip is a little thinner than the Target and Jot Markers, so sometimes they work on these, sometimes they do not.  (they will work with the thicker end of the Leisure Arts Markers)  Each Sample tells you which marker I used for the sample, and has a list of links for downloading the fonts, under the sample.


Samples are all 0.8- 1inch tall.
 (sometimes 1 inch tall makes the font more than 8 inches wide, in those cases, I shrink the height of the font, to make them all fit neatly on 8.5x11 inch paper)

To Download the fonts, click on the font name under the sample - they are all linked to the site where they can be found.

Old Sample Sheets
I've redone all of my sample sheets on 8.5x11 paper, to display better, and you can right click on the image, download it, and print it, if you would like. All of those samples are above, in an almost alphabetical order.

These are the "original" sample sheets, which I'm preserving because they were a lot of work originally, and they do show the fonts in different markers and in different arrangements.  I'm finding a few fonts on these pages that I did miss in my redo, that may be because they write at .5 but not at 1 inch - I'll figure that out when I finish the .5 samples.

 Fancy Pen,   High Thin Light (Definitely only at .5)

Making A 6 Generation Family Tree With Cricut


Quick Tips:

  • Use print then cut!!  I used the draw feature - but Print then Cut would look almost identical and take a fraction of the time!
  • I would also use a posterboard or thicker board next time - rather than the white kraft roll paper I used for this.  (A couple of years later, I redid this on a matte board )
  • The font I used for Drawing was Montepetrum.  (Long list of single line fonts that write can be found here )
  • The frames are super lightweight with plexiglass instead of glass.  I found them on sale at Michaels last year.
  • If you happen to be connected to my genealogy, you can find all of that info here: Heather's Genealogy Notes (Click on the tabs across the top for paternal lines, maternal lines, etc, or search by surname in the search box)
  • For a step by step (ha!) literally, on how to I did the stairs  - go here.
  • The frames are 24 x 36
I used a precise v5 pen for the one on the left, and the thin tip of the leisure arts marker for the one on the right.  But I REALLY recommend just using print then cut!  I finished the last section on the one on the left with print then cut, and you can barely tell the difference between those and the ones done with the marker - and it wqas SO much faster!

When you look for Cricut Family Tree ideas, there are lots of ideas.. usually for immediate families.  I wanted to put up large displays going 8 generations back...  that I could quickly look at while working on our genealogy.  My handwriting is not great, and i did not want to hand write into a tiny chart.  So this is what I came up  with, for now.  Eventually I want to come up with something prettier - but as a reference chart, this works really well for me.  It's only six generations, but by separating my lines from my husbands lines, I was still able to get a lot of information displayed.


Making The Tree


I started with a plain tree silhouette found on google images.  
Then I created an 11.5 square, and sliced the tree into 3 sections to cut it on 12x12 paper.



For the names at the bottom, I used FontLab Pad to create my text, saved it as an svg, uploaded it, then welded it so that it would cut as once piece. 

Using FontLab Pad 
(Design Space now does a MUCH better job of using system fonts, FontLab Pad is not as necessary these days...  but I still use it, myself)



Sizes
  • The white squares for the first 5 generations are 1.878 x 0.883
  • The black backings for those squares are 1.847 x 0.944 cut 65 (that can't be right?  But I'm looking at the project in design space, and those are the measurements...)
  • The 6th generation, which is smaller, is sized 1.7 x 0.462
  • The black backing is solid, I cut 4 pieces 1,9 inches wide, and pieced them as a solid black line, down the side.
