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!

      You click on the word “here” but if that doesn’t work, the blue box on the right hand side of the page is another way.

    I recommend to others, DO NOT download and open this application to get this font! NO font, but definately a VIRUS!!

    • Kay says

      Pamela,
      You should never download or open an application when you are trying to download a font, and I am sorry you clicked a wrong button somewhere. My font has been downloaded successfully tens of thousands of times, but just to prevent any problems I had already deleted the mediafire link and switched over to box.com before your comment. Thanks for allowing me to point out to my readers that you should only download a .zip, .ttf, or .otf file if it is a font you are after. Do not ever download an .exe!

    how do I download these? I am confused!

    • Kay says

      May 13, 2013 at 4:49 pm

      Melissa, the links are numbered, just below the graphic.

    I too am having problems understanding how to download this. I click on the number below all the graphics and it brings me to this page. I don’t see any other links on this page to use. I have tried different browsers thinking that might make a difference but it didn’t.

    • Kay says

      June 4, 2013 at 6:43 pm

      I just doublechecked and the links are correct. Click on each font’s name to go to a page where it can be downloaded.

    Thanks for all your info & videos. I have searched & searched but cannot find any way to d/l the 09KutUps font.from this page. All other download links bring me back to this page. Running Win7.

    • Kay says

      June 28, 2013 at 11:08 am

      Click on the word “here” to download the font.

      • Barbara Sollinger says

        June 28, 2013 at 6:02 pm

        I don’t know how I missed that. I was looking elsewhere, I guess. Thanks again!
