Minimalistic Print Style
SLF Carpe Diem is a nice fit for wood and metal work, as well as for cardmaking, engraving, foil quilling, and embossing.
Included Formats:
TTF - True Type Format
OTF (for FontLab Pad) - Open Type Format
OPF - Open Path Format
TTF FORMAT:
Because true type format fonts must have what we call “closed paths”, these will draw the line 2 times in the exact same place. To get around this, we created these fonts with no outlines. Instead, the lines trace over themselves once and then "close".
Installation (Windows): Right-click on the file and click “Unzip” and then “Install”. (Mac): Double-Click on the zipped file and drag the font file to the Font Book. Open or restart your program and use your new font. Your font can be found in drop-down text boxes within your software.
FONTLAB PAD FORMAT:
FontLab Pad is a simple, free app in which you type out true single line text. Export as an SVG file. Import into your chosen software.
OPEN PATH FORMAT (OPF):
These letters do not have any outlines at all! Like the name implies, they are are "single line fonts", also called "stick fonts", "single-stroke fonts" or "journaling fonts". These are in .opf (open path font) format. Here's how they work: these are only for the cutting software packages Starcraft CREATE and Sure Cuts a Lot (versions 5 and up). Some engraving and CAD/CAM programs will also accept OPF fonts. Your pen, foil quill, embossing, engraving, etching or similar tool will draw a single line only. No outlines, no going over the lines a 2nd time.
Special Cricut Design Space Instructions: If you have an issue with some of the font disappearing when you click "Make It", here are the steps to take: right-click the text box and choose "ungroup" and then "attach" before sending it to the machine.
