Let’s celebrate font kerning for better spaced fonts

10 June 2021

Kerned fonts have officially made their way to Design Space.

To celebrate, all Cricut Access kerned fonts will be free for you to try from June 11, 2021, to June 20, 2021! Not sure what kerned fonts are? Font kerning saves you time by automatically adjusting the spacing between letters, eliminating the time-consuming process of manually linking letters together. Now, you have even more creative possibilities with all of your lettering projects!

Below is an example of a font with and without kerning. The top text shows how the font would have displayed on the canvas before the font kerning feature was released. The bottom text shows how the same font now appears with the letters perfectly spaced. what a kerned font looks like as you type. Learn more about kerning in our how-to post.
