Finding the right font for your Cricut projects among all the fonts available isn’t easy. Especially if you know what you like and don’t like, but you have no real training as a designer.

You’ll probably end up choosing a font, realize it doesn’t quite look the way you wanted, choose a new font, find something else that’s wrong with this font, etc.

Ever since I found the Rae Dunn font, it has become one of my go-to options. It looks great and goes with almost any type of project.

So let’s take a closer look at the Rae Dunn font and how to use it with your Cricut.

One distinctive feature of her pottery is the words that she would write on them.

She has a very narrow and tall handwriting with smooth edges and lines. This gives her handwriting a minimalist yet feminine feel that so many people love.

The Rae Dunn font is based on her handwriting.
