Get Fancy With These Script Fonts
October 21st, 2018 • Contributor: Cricut Blog Team
Script fonts are an easy way to add a fancy feel to your designs. Whether it's for a wall sign, wedding invitations, or just for fun, we have many script fonts available in Design Space. Since there are so many fonts in there, we picked out some of our favorites to highlight.
With these fonts, they may initially appear with uneven spacing depending on the font and the letters that you use. You can start out by trying the "Letter Spacing" function above the canvas. This will often move them together with no further adjusting needed, but it doesn't work with some fonts because of the way they are structured.
You would then need to use "Ungroup to Letters" to move them together, then weld to recreate the word properly. This keeps them together and makes sure there are no cut lines between letters.
Some of the examples have already been through this process, and others are just as they would appear when you first use them.
Using Ungroup to Letters






Below you can see examples of other fonts that we love. I used the name of the font as the text, so use that to look it up in Design Space.















Note: This font has two different colors in it; black with highlight lines of blue. When you weld this one after separating, it turns all blue like the word "Grace" above. Take this into account for your design as it means your projects will only have one color.
Which one is your favorite? Leave a comment below and pin for later so you can have it handy when you create. Happy crafting!

Letter Spacing is {I think} a better place to start. A few clicks to decrease letter spacing and you may be done. If not, ungroup and move the “errant” letter.
Ah, true, post adjusted to include that. Thanks.
For the newbies, you don’t adequately explain the options to move the letters together. I prefer the left and right arrow keys, but there is also the letter spacing option in the top tool bar. Either way, it is inevitable that manual adjustments will probably have to be made. =)
Holding down the shift key while moving the letters with the mouse will keep the letters on the same x-axis.
Another thing to mention is holding down the shift key while dragging the letter over will keep it level horizontally. Sometimes it’s difficult not to move your hand while dragging and end up with wavy words. This comes in handy after you have moved letters with the right and left arrow keys and need to move it just a bit more.
How ti do 2color fonts ?
Check out this post to see how to write in multiple colors. You could use this idea for cutting, also. https://inspiration.cricut.com/write-in-multiple-colors-using-the-cricut-contour-tool/
I am wanting to make labels for glass rollerballs (essential oil rollers). I have no clue which cricut would be best to use. I see all kinds of cute labels though.
Hi. If you are just mainly wanting to do this, the Explore machines will work for you. The Maker expands the possibilities for your crafts even farther than the Explore series.
Pen and ink or soiree
Sareeka is a fab new font to try. But I too wish there was a way to connect the letters together automatically
