Free letter O SVG files: monogram, split and stencil

The O in each typeface

A letter’s closed counters decide how it cuts. The O has a closed counter in Pacifico, Abril Fatface, Alfa Slab One, Rye and Lilita One, cut as a hole in the letter, and none in Lobster, Cinzel Decorative and UnifrakturMaguntia. When a letter with a counter is cut out of something else, the counter’s middle would drop out, so the disc, heart and stencil designs add a narrow bridge to hold it.

Every plain letter is 100 mm tall. The split, ring and stencil designs are built from the same shapes, so a split O and a plain O cut at the same height match exactly.

Making a monogram

For a single-letter monogram, use the ring or the laurel wreath. For a name, use the split letter: add the name in your cutting software, size it to sit in the 16 mm gap, and attach it. For a three-letter monogram, download the plain letters in one typeface, make the middle one about a third taller, and weld the three.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
