These steps are for downloading a font on a PC. I am running Microsoft 10. The process may look a little different on your computer. Essentially, you just need to download the font, unzip the file, open the font file, and install it, but these steps and photos below may help you visualize the process of installing fonts to use with your Silhouette, Cricut, or other design software. The fonts presented on this website are their authors' property, and are either freeware, shareware, demo versions or public domain. The licence mentioned above the download button is just an indication. Please look at the readme-files in the archives or check the indicated author's website for details, and contact him/her if in doubt.

Where to find Halloween fonts for Cricut
My favourite place to download Halloween fonts is Creative Fabrica.
I have their monthly subscription which means that I can download as many of their fonts, SVGs or graphics as I want, without paying an extra.
I highly recommend the subscription, but if you don’t want to commit to that then you can purchase all these Halloween fonts separately for a small one-off fee.
Here are a list of all the fonts I used in my video in case you want to use the exact same ones.
I’ll put the word that I typed onto my subway sign first, and then link the name of the font to where you can download it.
- Happy Halloween: Font name = Halloween
- Spooky: Font name = Halloween Nightmare
- Spiders: Font name = Halloween is Coming
- Pumpkins: Font name = Halloween Pumpkin
- Trick or treat: Font name = Halloween Attack
- Boo: Font name = Whollard Ghostia
- October 31st: Font name = Halloween Witch
- Haunting: Font name = Halloween Elegance
- Witch, please: Font name = Angel Heart Script
- Creep it real: Font name = Ghoster Hunter
Phew, that sure was a long list!
I hope that you enjoy this video on how to use text and fonts in Design Space.

Not all fonts work the same! That is why finding free fonts for Cricut can be very difficult. In fact, finding paid fonts for Cricut can be difficult in itself! Even when you do find that perfect font you will need to know some basic steps to help your project idea become reality. Follow these simple steps and then take a look further below at all of the best free fonts for Cricut that I have found.
How Do I Install Fonts On Cricut
- Before you download any fonts you will first make sure the font is truly free for your intended use. Usually when a designer releases a font for free – it is only for personal use. You will want to read the license before using the font or selling any items using the font.
- PUA encoded – To make your life a little less stressful, make sure your font is in fact PUA encoded. PUA stands for “Private Use Areas” which means that you will be able to access all of the extras such as flourishes and swashes. It also means you will be able to load them into applications like Silhouette Studio and Cricut Design Space.
- Not PUA encoded? That is typically not a problem. You will only be able to access the basic standard characters but swashes, flourishes, and other extras will not show up. So if you ARE planning on using fancier characters or ornaments – make sure your font is PUA encoded.
- Once you install a new font you will need to RESTART Design Space as it WILL NOT recognize the font right away.
- That is it! Finally you are now ready to cut your text. Overall Cricut makes it SUPER easy to just type in text and go!

PUA Encoded Benefits & Sources
Remember, you can use non-PUA encoded fonts as well, however you won’t be able to access any special characters. Keep in mind some PUA encoded fonts don’t really have any special characters at all – making them easily PUA encoded, but with no added benefit. The fonts I have listed above have special ligatures, accents, swashes, or ornamental characters making them a huge benefit when using them in Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio.
All in all FontBundles is the quickest and easiest source I have found to find PUA encoded fonts. Go check them out. Look for the blue check icon!
Their current font bundles are usually PUA encoded - they are definitely worth taking a look.
