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!
Brand new to SCAL and Scrapbooking

Thank you for the fonts. I hope your son is ok.
I live in israel, so I cannot donate for the institution thas you asked but I donated 50$ to the The Israeli Foundation for Handicapped Children -which assists thousands of physically impaired children and adults suffering from neuromuscular disorders such as infantile paralysis, cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy

Thank you, Judith, my son is doing well and we very much appreciate the donation!
I am so glad to hear that your son is doing well, Kay. It has been two years since you posted this link but I only found it today. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. The link you provided makes it so easy to make a donation and I greatly appreciate that.
I just found this and will gladly donate the next time I am Mickey D’s. They have helped our family so much. So I surely understand the need. Thank you very kindly.
I just stumbled upon this through a search and I am so excited to use this “font.” Thank you so much for sharing it!!!!!!!
I really love this! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this great font. I look forward to using with my SCAL 2 and cricut a lot.
The link you provided for the donation to the Ronald McDonald House made making a donation so easy.
This is an amazing font! I’ve made about 5 donations this year to RMH, but will make another one in your name. They are my favorite charity. As a PICU doctor, I can’t even tell you how amazing they have been to my patients’ families. The support they provide just can’t be measured.
whoah this weblog is fantastic i love studying your articles. Stay up the great work! You know, lots of individuals are hunting around for this information, you could help them greatly.
Thank you for your generosity! I’m really enjoying your blog and your clever ideas! I, too, have benefitted from the amazing charity of the Ronald McDonald House. My daughter was born at 24 weeks and spent nearly 10 months in the NICU. We lived at the Ronald McDonald House for over 100 days. We were well taken care of during this extremely difficult time in our lives. We donate on a regular basis. I am new to your blog, but I hope to hear good things about your son! Thanks again for the font, as well as the shout out about RMH!
Thanks so much for the generous share. Scrapppers are just the best!

Mil gracias por tu gran donación que Dios te bendiga
You are so awesome. Thank you for spending the time to make these. I hope your son is better now. God bless you and your family.
Is the download still available? I don’t see anywhere where to click to get the download?
Click on the word “here” or use the blue box in the right hand margin.
Thanks, after I posted the question, I saw the link. Thanks!
This font would have been very useful for my art project, but I got an error when I opened the downloaded file. The error says: “The requested file …9KUTUPS.TTF is not a valid font file.” Am I missing something?
Kay Ann, please re-download and try again. This font has been downloaded thousands of times and this is the first report of this so I’m thinking it was a random hiccup.
Just a wonderful resource!! 🙂 Thanks so much, Kay!
Hi just started using electronic cutter and came across this font,,,love it but having difficulties installing it. Says font is installed but doesn’t appear in fonts list or in the programs. using windows 7. is there any other way to access this font/install it so it will work.
Hmmm, Dianne, haven’t had any other reports of this. Make sure you look at the very top or very bottom of your font list. The font’s name starts with the numerals 09.
