These are listed as “system fonts” in your font choices. You can use your own computer fonts within Cricut Design Space too. However, an outline font can be “drawn” or cut (or printed and even scored if you’d like). You won’t be able to cut a writing style font. The pen will draw a single stroke design to create each letter so you end up with more of a hand written pen and ink look. The “writing style” fonts are meant only to be written. Some fonts are designed to be cut out shapes, these are standard outline fonts. This means if you have a shape it will draw the shape outline, if you have a single line design, your Cricut will follow and draw that too. The pen will “write” any kind of line you dictate in Cricut Design Space.
