Stencil Fonts For Laser Cutting

Over time I have collected a number of fonts for my laser cutting projects. In this post, I want to share my favorite connected and script fonts with you.

By connected fonts I mean fonts where the letters are linked together so that after cutting a word is just one piece. They work great for things like signs, custom gifts, wedding decorations, cake toppers, etc.
There are not many completely connected free fonts available but often even starting with a partly connected font can save a lot of time and missing connections can be added by hand.

I only included fonts that are free to use for personal and commercial projects from credible sources. Most of the fonts listed here are released under the SIL Open Font License (OFL). Put simply, the OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used (e.g. to create logos or manufacture objects based on their outlines), modified, and redistributed freely as long as the fonts are not sold by themselves.

To make it easier for you to find the perfect connected font for your laser cutting project, use the filter options below.

Artiston is an elegant font where all of the lowercase and also many of the uppercase letters connect. For small text sizes, I recommend adding a stroke to give the thin connection lines more stability.
