15 Single-Line Writing Fonts for Cricut Design Space (and Where to Find Them)

Cricut Design Space is a design software that works with Cricut crafting machines. Typically, Cricut machines are used for cutting rather than drawing; but there is an option to draw and write with Cricut Design Space. Since Cricut technology is for plotting and cutting, it can be quite hard to find typefaces or fonts that suit single-line writing. Here are 15 single-line fonts for your Cricut projects.

What’s the Difference Between Regular and Writing Fonts in Cricut Design Space?

When selecting the Text function in Cricut Design Space, the default operation setting is Basic Cut. This means any text you choose will be cut out around the outer path of each letter. If you go to the Operation dropdown menu, select any setting under Draw, such as Pen or Foil, to enable you to draw or write your letters rather than cutting them.

The default for text is to draw along the cut marks, resulting in “bubble” lettering rather than single-line drawn letters. You can still draw or foil text in this way, but if you want a professional and sleek result, you’ll want a monoline text.

15 Single-Line Writing Fonts for Cricut Design Space

A Cricut machine is a fantastic tool, and you can use a multitude of fonts in your Cricut designs. While Cricut Design Space flaunts its own font library—both free and paid-for—you can also find typefaces in other places, like Google Fonts, Creative Fabrica, and DaFont to name a few. We’ve compiled fonts that fit the agenda, so you don’t have to search yourself.

Cricut Design Space Fonts

If you subscribe to Cricut Access—the $9.99 per month subscription offered for extra Cricut graphics, projects, and discounts—you’ll be able to get any of these fonts. There are some free ones for anyone without access, too. With a new Cricut machine, you can get your first month of Cricut Access for free.

To search for Cricut fonts, use the filters in the Text tool to check boxes for Writing, and you can choose to filter by Free as well. Then, search the font name. Cricut Access fonts are shown with a small green “a” icon on the font listing. Only Cricut Access subscribers can use these fonts. If your subscription runs out, you’ll lose access to those fonts.

1. Poker Night (Free)

This free Cricut font is monoline and monospace. It has an aesthetically pleasing nature to it due to the letters being the same width. Great for precise and neat writing. It doesn’t offer anything too fancy, and the text is written all in capitals.

2. DTC Fall and Flair (Cricut Access)

This font gives slightly Sailor Jerry tattoo vibes with the serif ends on the letters. It has varying height crossbars on its letters, so it’s not a font for the perfectionist in you. This font is written in only capital letters. It has a fun flair to it and would work great for a casual decoration font.

3. Typewriter (Free)

The free Typewriter font is available both as a Regular font and a Writing font.

While a typewriter style is typically wider than this monoline variation allows for, the font has retained some of the classic style’s features—sharp serif ends on the letters and curled tails on Ts and Rs, for example.

4. DTC Shiplap (Cricut Access)

Shiplap is a fun handwritten monoline font. It offers low crossbars that give a playful and young feel to the letters. Like some other paid-for single-line fonts, this one again only writes in capital letters.

It has a cute, quirky vibe. It would be great for address labels, invites, or anything smart casual.

5. Little White Lies (Free)

Little White Lies is another handwritten style. This one is much more playful with circles dotting the I's, varying heights in letters, and quirky X-height across the board. This is a very casual and fun font to use.

6. Telegram Text (Cricut Access)

Telegram Text is a serif font that’s pleasing to the eye. It’s quite formal in looks, but playful in some respects with its rounded serifs ending in little circles. You could find many uses for a text style like this. You can even curve text in Cricut Design Space to add more flair to your text projects.

Creative Fabrica Fonts

Creative Fabrica is an online marketplace—which is great for selling your digital design to make a passive income. It’s a paid-for subscription model that offers the first month for free with 10 free downloads—you can also get SVG files for Cricut projects here. Always read the license information when purchasing or downloading a typeface; this will let you know how and where you may use the fonts.

7. Dear Agatha ($12.00 Standalone)

This is an easy-to-read cursive typeface. The download provides a package of typefaces—two script fonts and two sans serif fonts.

The cursive font option stands up well by itself as a cursive monoline. This would be great for adding handwritten text to homemade invitations, address labels for wedding invites, or anything you need to add a touch of class to.

8. Muggsy Sketch ($12.00 Standalone)

This unbalanced, quirky font is offered as a single-line or hairline font for easy writing, foiling, or engraving with your Cricut machine. Muggsy Sketch is packaged with two uppercase typefaces, multiple ligatures, and extra characters.

DaFont Fonts

DaFont is a great resource for finding a large variety of typefaces. Most free downloads are for personal use only but often come with a way to purchase a commercial license. Check the license agreement for the type of project you intend to make with your downloaded fonts.

9. Lovely Monoline (Free For Personal Use)

This cursive font isn’t officially single-line, but its paths are close enough that when drawing or writing with your Cricut, the results will look single-line. Weld the letters before making your project to ensure the lines are drawn continuously through the joins.

This glamorous hand-drawn script font would add style and class to anything you wanted to write with your Cricut.

10. Cherry (Free For All Uses)

This light monospace typeface is clear and easy to read. Its letters are easily spread out for clear plotting with your Cricut machine. This is perfect for a typed-out design that required professionalism.

Cherry isn’t officially a single-line font, but with a thicker pen—like a Cricut watercolor marker & brush pen—your plotter won’t draw the letters with any gaps, effectively drawing a monoline font.

With Cherry's license, you can create designs to sell. There are many great places to sell your design work, both physical and digital.

11. Thinnyness (Free For Personal Use)

This free personal-use font is a handwritten monoline style. Great for adding neat handwriting that needs to be easily read. It’s a little quirky and cute.

12. Slightly Cursive Characters (Free For Personal Use)

This typeface isn’t officially monoline; however, if you’re writing with a thick enough pen or foiling at bold, then the paths will overlap, giving a single-line result. This typeface wouldn’t be suitable for cutting with your Cricut, since its paths are too close.

Google Fonts

Google Fonts offer free-to-download fonts inclusive of commercial licenses. This means you can sell any designs that use Google Fonts. Just download them to your system for use in Cricut Design Space.

13. Thasadith (Free For All Uses)

Thasadith is not quite monoline, but with a thick enough pen—we used a 0.8mm Cricut Gel Pen—you won't notice the gaps between the paths.

This is a well-balanced typeface with a higher-than-normal x-height. Use this font for writing anything that’s smart and orderly.

14. Grandiflora One (Free For All Uses)

This serif typeface has a typewriter style. It’s bold and strong and works great for anything that you might want to add some authority to in your Cricut projects. The original typeface was designed in non-Latin letters, but once downloaded it can be used with Latin letters as well as the original language.

15. Moirai One (Free For All Uses)

Moirai One is a bubble script rather than a single-line font. However, the way the paths are drawn means it will be written as single-line. The lines are simply open bubbles instead of closed paths. The original font was designed for an Asian writing system, but it's easily readable when typing Latin letters.

This is a fun and unique style that can add some playfulness to any design. The open-ended letters make it different from a typical bubble script.

Expand Your Cricut Designs Using Single-Line Writing Fonts

While there are plenty of typefaces and fonts you can use for traditional Cricut projects, there are much fewer for using Cricut’s Draw option. With this list of 15 fonts from a variety of sources, you can add some flair and unique style to your Cricut projects. Whether you’re drawing or writing with pen, using a foil transfer kit, or engraving letters on a material, it’s great knowing there are font options that work for you.
