PLEASE NOTE that this is NOT font-software and can NOT be installed as .ttf or .otf so you can type away on your keyboard. If that's what you're looking for you can buy directly from the font designer here: https://creativemarket.com/Groens/426980 This is a digital ALPHABET for CUTTING MACHINES Like Cricut Explore and more. The letters/characters are outlined to graphical elements made for cutting: this means they're like digital shapes or letter stamps which you will have to position seperately, using your cutting software. Please read the full description for further information. -:- Hello and WELCOME to my shop CleanCutCreative where all designs are made specifically for your cutting machine to ensure an easy clean-cutting experience ;-) This cutting file alphabet is based on the font FREESTYLE and contains 156 characters! Great for creating beautiful text-art or quotes! I manually revised and modified each letter to make sure they are bold enough for your machine and will cut smooth and clean! All available alphabets can be found here https://www.etsy.com/shop/CleanCutCreative?ref=l2-shop-header-avatar§ion_id=18674610 -:- HOW IT WORKS -:- Since this is not a regular font it will work a little different than what you're probably used to, but I hope you'll find it to be actually surprisingly easy to use 😀. Here's how it works: In this alphabet you can see each letter as a separate image or a digital stamp. You position each letter individually to build your project, just like you would with letter stamps. Although you can not type the letters on your keyboard, there's a big advantage to this alphabet: you don't need special skills or software to use all the beautiful swashes and swirls! Normally you would need to access those by external software but with these files they are all in your cutting program already! The alphabet is grouped in square sets of 12 by 12 inch, you can see the sets on the listing pictures. First you start your cutting program and open/upload the alphabet file(s) the same way as a regular cutfile. You zoom out a little so you have more room and place the alphabet(s) to the side. If you can not click the individual letters you might need to UNGROUP once. Now you can start building your project (picking letters from the sets and duplicating letters you need double). Once you're happy with the result you select all projectletters and choose 'weld' so they become one 'image'. You can resize to the size you want and cut! -:- INSTANT DOWNLOAD -:- This listing contains the following INSTANT DOWNLOAD (in one .zip folder): 4 SVG files, 4 DXF files and 4 EPS files - each containing all characters shown on the last 2 pictures per format.
