New free dingbat font for die cutters

May 24, 2009 by Kay

I am proud to introduce 09 KutUps, a shapes font made especially for SCAL, MTC, Silhouette Studio and other cutting software that can cut truetype fonts. From the ground up this font was designed with diecutting in mind. Every shape has been optimized for cutting and even the font name and configuration have been chosen to make it easy to use with diecutting software.

I have been the recipient of much generosity recently. For example, in 2008 I spent a month’s worth of nights in the Ronald McDonald House near where my son was hospitalized. If you enjoy using this font, I hope you will be generous the next time this fine organization asks for your support. Download the font here. View/download the character map here. 09KutUps is free for personal and commercial use, but may not be sold or shared without my permission. Please also do me the courtesy of directing others to this blog post rather than to the box.com link. And of course, I would love to hear your comments.

7/24/09 Update: This font has become very popular, and many of you have told me that you have honored my request that you make a donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities in return. Thank you so very much. My son had to be admitted to a hospital in another distant town for the last 2 weeks. Once again the Ronald McDonald House there provided support for our family.

5/11/13 Update: This font has been downloaded tens of thousands of times and I am overwhelmed by your response to it and your willingness to honor my request. I have eliminated the mediafire link that had gotten too aggressive and switched over completely to box.net which should be a simpler download. My son has been off treatment for 3 years and  has graduated from college and gotten married. I will forever be grateful to the Ronald McDonald House for being there is our darkest days. Thank you for your continued support!

    This looks so cool. I have to buy SCAL now so I can get your shapes. Awesome. I have been banned from the Cricut Cheats site because I did not download it in time. How can i be forgiven? I am not at my home so will not have a printer for a couple months. Is there any way I can get it once more when I return home? Your fan, Bev.

      Bev,
      Have no idea what you mean about Cricut Cheats. The font is available here exclusively and indefinitely. Download it whenever you like.

    Hello,
    Just discovered your site via the SVGCuts forum, thank you for your generousity in creating and sharing these files.

    My very good wishes and prayers for you and your family.

    I am a windows user so can create a tutorial on how to install the font if that would be useful to anyone

    Thank you again

    Just wondering if there is a way to copy an image (like one of the screenshots on a Cricut Cartridge and maybe paste it in paint to only select the image you want. Then clean it up enough in Inkscape to possible cut it out in either SCAL OR MTC! I have both programs. If anyone knows how to do this – or knows of a tutorial of how to do it – could you please email me?
    Thanks!

      There are many ways, but only one that is legal. Cut the image from black paper and scan it.

      Yes, Lynn, it is still available. Read the text carefully and you should be able to find the link. Clue, look for the word “here.”
