The Cricut pens were all a bit too fine to draw up posters with though, so I had to use something else – and I settled on Sharpies, which I used with an adapter I was given (made out of a bit of tubing!).
FREE FONTS FOR CRICUT DOWNLOAD
Quite often, the font appears as single line until the very moment you click on the ‘Write’ icon…then it goes back to an outline!Īnyway – I wanted to choose fonts that would work well in a poster if you wanted a rather arty ‘hand-drafted’ effect, and here are the fonts I was left with (with links to where you can download them all for free). Only trouble is – you put a lot of them into Design Space and they become outlines again! (I’m talking to you, Existence font!) It’s rather frustrating, and it seems to affect some users and not others. This cut down the choices a fair bit…but I was able to get hold of a few free fonts that promised to be single line. Although – the Cricut can also draw some rather brilliant ‘fun fonts’ – and they can be combined with the single-line fonts to great effect.

Then, when I realised that single-line fonts were the ones to choose if I wanted something that wasn’t an outline. First of all, I had the familiar experience of having outlined text every time I tried to use it. It’s taken me a while to ‘get’ the point of the ‘Write’ feature on the Cricut.
