You can turn any cut line into a write line in Design Space.

Do this by clicking the text block then click line type and change from cut to draw. This includes all fonts – it will draw an outline of the letter, following the same path that the blade would if it were being cut out.

Generally though, you'll want the look of the pen writing a letter as you would draw them yourself, as single lines. Some fonts have what's called a "writing style."

Rookie Mistake: not choosing a "writing" font.

You can filter fonts to show just those that have a built in writing style. In fact, some fonts are ONLY a writing font.

You can change the color of the writing fonts with Cricut pens, or any other draw line, according to different Cricut pen colors. When you go to make your project, Design Space will prompt you to insert the pen color you chose.

It's especially helpful if you're drawing in a few different colors, to keep them straight.
