All your Font Needs
Text Options in Cricut Design Space Mobile App
In this tutorial we will learn how to navigate through Cricut Design Space mobile app text options. This will include how to filter through fonts. You will also learn how to change out fonts, which is a little tricky if you are new to Design Space app. To demonstrate, we will be using a fresh script font called Smith Catrine. We have a great selection of Modern Fonts similar to the one I'm using today.
To begin, open the Cricut Design Space mobile app and create a new project.
Start by clicking on the Text icon on the lower toolbar. The font box will appear. You will now have the option to filter through the available fonts in Cricut. You can choose to search through Cricut, System fonts or the combination of both by clicking All. The search can be refined if needed by clicking the small funnel next to the search bar.
Another pop up window will appear if you choose to refine your search. This window is known as your Filter window. Under this window you can refine your search. You do this by selecting the desired Location, Ownership and Type of font you are looking for. Once you are finished, click the back button.
You are now able to scroll through the specified fonts. If you already know the name of the font, type it in the Search bar.
After selecting the font, a small rectangle box will appear on the canvas page. Click within the rectangle box to type out your text. The text will then show up on the canvas page written in the selected font. Click back onto the canvas screen when you are finished.
You have successfully created a text design. At this time you can make changes to your current text. You can even change the font if necessary.
If you want to change your current font, click the Edit icon on the lower toolbar. A pop-up toolbar will appear right above, which is known as the Edit toolbar.
Next, click on the Font Name tab on the far left to access the available fonts. A box will appear similar to the one we used in the first step. Choose another font to replace the one you currently have. Continue to repeat this process until you find the perfect font for the project.
The Edit toolbar also comes with several editing options to alter your text. The options includes line spacing, alignments, size and even the ability to adjust kerning manually. This is usually needed for script fonts, such as the one I used in the image below.
There are so many options in Cricut Design Space to create an excellent text design. We hope you found this tutorial helpful. Next up, learn how to use swashes or font glyphs in the Cricut app.
