What is a Monogram?
A monogram is a personal indication of one’s name:
- Single monogram: Usually represents surname
- Dual monogram: Use for those without a middle name or the first names of a couple
- Triple monogram: This is the commonly used format, which can be used for an individual or the first names and combined last name of a married couple
Order of Letters in a Monogram
There is an order to how letters are arranged in a monogram. Here are some general tips to follow:
- Individual (middle letter largest): First initial, Last initial, Middle initial
- Individual (all letters same height): First initial, Middle initial, Last initial
- Individual (stacked, such as in a block monogram): First initial on top of Middle initial to the left, Last initial height of first two initials combined to the right
- Couple: Woman’s first initial, Shared last name, Man’s first initial

Factors in Font Selection
We've searched high and low for a diverse array of fonts to fit your project needs. Our goal was to find the best collection of fonts that include as many of these characteristics listed below as possible.
- Most popular trends to classic timeless styles (elegant modern, fancy vintage, rustic farmhouse, clean and simple minimalist, etc).
- Downloadable alphabet and/or dingbat (picture) ttf or otf files that work well on desktop, laptop computers (Android and iPad tablets are a bit more tricky).

- Useable for text in Word or to create beautiful print for craft cutting machines like a Cricut machine*, Silhouette machine*, Brother Scan N Cut*, etc.
Personal vs Commercial Use
Personal use means you are using a designer’s work for your own projects with no business interest. This applies to most crafters, who want to use pretty fonts, clipart, etc to customize a vinyl project, create a wood sign, or other DIY project.
However, if you plan to use the designs for your business, whether to sell or even give away for free, then you will need a commercial license in order to use the font legally.
Most times, free fonts are only for personal use with the option to upgrade for business use. But sometimes, designers are really generous and let you use their free fonts for both personal and commercial purposes.
Check the fonts section below for licensing information we found.

Tips for Using Fonts in Crafting
Downloading and installing fonts
The free download files will come in a zipped folder. Extract the files and download to your computer. Make sure you close out and reopen Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio for the new font(s) to appear.
Combining script text
When you insert text into Cricut Design Space, you will need to adjust letter spacing to connect letters. Don’t forget to weld to combine the text so each word cuts out as a single piece instead of by individual letters.
If welding text fills in the space in letters (such as a, d, p, etc), then undo the weld, enlarge the text, and try welding again.
Thin fonts
Some cursive fonts may become too thin for weeding if used as small text. Reserve for use on large signs, etc.
Happy crafting!
