Cricut fonts are specifically designed to cut perfectly with Cricut machines, so they’re always the safest option.

There are so many free fonts available over the internet, from swirly and script-y to blocky and bold. Ordinarily, system fonts will cut just fine. The issue you may run into is when you’re working with a particularly distressed or detailed font. Since system fonts aren’t designed to be cut, the Cricut machine may struggle and end up destroying your material. Save yourself money on mistakes and losing materials by using official Cricut fonts, which would be the safest bet.
