Finally, I downloaded many catchy fonts that appealed to me and were the best fit for texts I would add to my T-shirt design.
But how did I download these fonts? Well, I have already answered this in this write-up. Anyone looking for the best eye-catching fonts that look amazing if you use them in projects like T-shirts, mugs, coasters, and much more? Are you ready to download fonts in Cricut Design Space? If so, let’s get started!
What Are .TTF and .OTF Fonts?
Before I explain the steps to download Cricut fonts to your computer and mobile device, I would like to introduce you to two important terms: .ttf and .otf.
When deciding between .ttf and .otf font files, it’s essential to understand the basic difference between the two. .ttf files represent TrueType fonts, while .otf files represent OpenType fonts. While both are widely used and compatible with various platforms, there are distinctions that may influence your choice.
OpenType (.otf) fonts are generally more advanced than TrueType (.ttf) fonts. They often offer additional features such as extra glyphs, embellishments, and special characters. These added features can provide more design options and flexibility when working on projects.
Given the enhanced capabilities of .otf files, I typically prefer them over .ttf files for design projects. However, it’s important to note that .otf files tend to be larger in size compared to .ttf files. This means that .otf fonts may consume more storage space on your device or server.
