Using Great Vibes for monograms
The capitals are large and loop below the baseline, so a Great Vibes monogram is wider than it is tall; give it a landscape space. The hairline joins are the first to tear when weeding, which sets the 4 inch minimum in vinyl.
About Great Vibes
Great Vibes was designed by Robert Leuschke. Its designer describes it as a flowing script that pairs casual capitals with more formal lowercase letters, and the font is large: it carries connecting ligatures and alternate characters, and a 2024 update extended it to Sub-Saharan Latin and Cyrillic.
Because the capitals are the casual part of the design, a capitals-only monogram in Great Vibes looks looser than the same font in a full name. If you want a more formal look, add the names in Cinzel underneath.

Worked example: how small can a Great Vibes letter be cut?
Thin stroke = 0.030 x letter height. A 3 inch Great Vibes capital therefore has strokes down to 2.32 mm. Taking 1 mm as a cautious minimum for weeding adhesive vinyl: 0.030 x H = 1 mm gives H = 32.8 mm, or 1.29 in per letter (1.61 in for heat-transfer or glitter vinyl, about 25% more). Monograms shrink letters to fit frames and stacks, hence our 4 in overall minimum for Great Vibes.
Outline points: 3,253 across A to Z; H has 186, C only 74. That is a heavy outline: expect slower cuts, and if Design Space reports a design as too complex, drop the frame or cut the letters separately.
For names in the split and wedding styles, the file includes every accented letter we checked, so names such as René, Muñoz, Søren, Łukasz and Strauß set correctly.
For the name in a split monogram or the date under a wedding monogram, pair Great Vibes with Cinzel; the tool’s “Text font” control sets it.
