Provocraft has moved away from purely font cartridges, so there were not too many to consider for this category. As you can see, the majority of them are found on the "lite" cartridges. One thing to note is that many of the full size cartridges come with at least one font on them and some of these are just gorgeous! In fact, I could do a post on just that subject itself....maybe later.
Let's press on, shall we?
Here are the contenders for the category of Best Font Cricut Cartridge of 2010:
1) Cricut Holiday Cakes Cartridge: This card actually shows some word art from the cartridge, but it is in the same font as provided on the cartridge. Such a fun, happy font! Remember that the cake cartridges can be used in all the machines and can be used to make paper crafts also!
2) Cricut Feeling Groovy Lite Cartridge: I like the funkiness of this font. It's groovy without being dated. Whimsical but not over the top.
3) Cricut Cherry Limeade Lite Cartridge: This is a little more versatile than the Feeling Groovy font, taking up less of a footprint when used, but still with an air of whimsy.
4) Cricut Lite Billionaire Cartridge: A nice basic layered font in a cursive style - would look great welded. Here it is not welded but still works! This cartridge has some very cute Monopoly style images on it also, such as this vest and tie.
Let's hear a drum roll, please.....the winner of the Best Font Cricut Cartridge is the......
I loved how fun, yet easy to use, this font is! The shadow is just a whisper of a background and doesn't interfere with the overall look of the font. If you want more of a shadow, offset it a bit for a different look. I love to use this font! Here's another card made below with it.
What is your choice for best font? I'd love to know!

Great one!!! My fave would have to be Hannah Montana. There are so many fonts on that one cart. alone.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite font is the Hello Kitty rounded font. I love the way it looks and especially with the shadow.
ReplyDeleteI like printing 101 and I just got a plum expression that has the classic font. I believe I'm gonna like that one too!
ReplyDeleteMy fav was Cursive 101 and then Billionaire showed up! Love this font for welding. Cherry Limeade is on my wish list though.

I love that you are doing this, I get to see some carts I haven't seen before.
ReplyDeleteI so agree! I love the Cherry LImeade cart...it was the first Lite Cart that I bought - because of the great font. The Botanicals one also has a really nice font.
ReplyDeleteThe Cursive 101 is one of my favorite

ReplyDeletegreat choice! I have groovy and need to make a trip to WallyWorld for this one it seems =)
ReplyDeleteyou know this little top 10 is only making us feed the need for our crazy hobby! LOL ;-)
Don Juan - I gave my granddaughter a Cricut Create for Christmas and it came with this cartridge. She made me a Christmas card using the puzzle font and had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! That's been my next goal. Fonts. But my fav is from robotz.
ReplyDeleteLove the Cherry Limeaid as well. Great choice. Love your cards too!
ReplyDeleteOh =O I didn't know the cake cartridges could be used for paper too! Silly me!

I've been to the Walmart craft aisle quite a few times but have never seen this Cherry Limeade cart. I'll have to redouble my efforts or go online. Thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteLove the holiday cakes but the billionaire is good too. I love the welding the cursive fonts. This is hard cause I like the Cherry Limeade too. It's fun to have several fonts so every page looks unique.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know either about the cake cartridge would cut paper....now will have to check it out....tfs
ReplyDeleteFor 2010 carts only I'm loving the font on the Happy Halloween cartridge. In general I love the All Mixed Up font and the Mickey Fonts.
ReplyDeleteLove fonts. My fav cart. is don jaun.
ReplyDeleteTHe new one i like is well im not sure. thanks for the post.
Love this post, you give some great samples of the fonts to compare...thanks for all that you do!

I want to say that I wish Provocraft would make MORE fonts...that's the whole reason I bought my Cricut in the first place! For my all-time favorite, It's a tie between Hanah Montana (I bought it for the fonts) and Storybook. For 2010, for sure the Cherry Limeade!
ReplyDeleteThe Cherry Limeade Lite cart is fabulous (and on my wishlist lol). My all time font favorite is Lyrical Letters, and my 2nd favorite is Mickey Font (and they both pack a lot of extras). And then there's the endcap fonts on Plantin Schoolbook.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great piece that you are doing. I think all of us have been in the situation when someone asks us about what cartrige to buy or to have. I again agree with you that this is my number one font cartrige.
ReplyDeletedrachenschloss@msn.com
OK I need to read complete titles ... I missed the 2010 bit :D. Soooo Yeah, I'll go with your choices then lol.
ReplyDeleteBut when it comes to all-time fonts... see post above :D
Oh I love all of your choices! I really like Cherry Limeade, Lyrical Letters, but I also liked the arrows on the font on the Boys cart.
ReplyDeleteCherry Limeade Looks really nice but I actually like All Mixed Up and the One on Rock Princess!!
ReplyDeleteTFS!! Take Care!!

I really don't have a favorite but I've heard that Hannah Montana has great ones.
ReplyDeleteGloria H
LOVE the font on Cherry Limeade too! I got a couple of duplicate carts for Christmas, so I am going to exchange one of them for this cartridge....so excited!!

I love the Holiday Cakes font, that cart is one on my wishlist. I hadn't really seen much with Cherry Limeade, but like what I see. Thanks for sharing! You are making my "list" get longer and longer. :)
ReplyDeleteamandawoodau at hotmail dot com
Storybook is my favorite font.
ReplyDeleteI love Alphalicious. So many fun fonts to use. I wasn't familiar with Cherry Limeade. That one is really nice. I like some of the extra cuts om it too. I hope I can still find this one.
ReplyDeleteKathleen
Hi Joy,

I totally agree with you on this cartridge Joy! I think the font is wonderful and fun and I like the shadowing... great Font Cartridge! :o)
ReplyDeleteCherry Limeade is on my list to buy.
ReplyDeleteWhile making some handmade Christmas gifts I found I loved the Plain Font on Elegant Cakes. It has an italic look to it.
I love the font on this cart...fresh and cute!
ReplyDeleteDefinately Cherry Limeade. I love that one!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick on this one. It is actually my favorite as well:)
ReplyDeleteStephanie
Thanks for the info, Joy
ReplyDeleteSusan
No Lyrical Letters? I love that cart and all the fonts it offers. But I do agree Cherry Limeade Rocks! Have that one and Groovy too! So fun! Thanks for postong this!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite (If I have to choose) font is still A Child's Year. It is just a nice all around font that weld's nicely.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a tough decision for me. I like them all! I think my favorite would have to be the "Feeling Groovy" cart because I like the looks of the letters. I think they are more playful.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this cartridge yet. It's on my "must have" list now. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the Cricut Cherry Limeade Lite Cartridge the other day. Yep going to have to get this one. It is one I can see using for both female and male cards/scrapbooks.
ReplyDeleteBeth (Livin' in a household of boys)
Hands down my favorite font cartridge is Stone Script! In my book nothing else compares! Even though it is a solutions cartridge with no other images, it is still tops for me.
ReplyDeletenursiebeth
I have All Mixed Up, Lyrical Letters Zooballoo, Cindy Loo Fonts. I like using different fonts and I love them all! Sandra
ReplyDeleteMy fav font cart is Calligraphy collection. I know it's not a new release but since I am obsessed with making personalized vinyl items I find this is one of the easiest fonts to use. I do love your selections....I am not a big Lite cart fan....I wish it had some form of booklet with it I guess...Thanks for showing me that maybe I just need to give the Lite carts so love...=)
