Grinched is a fancy, cartoon font by Sharkshock (Dennis Ludlow), free for personal use only. Its license does not let it be passed on, so it is got from its author’s site. Free for posters, invites and your edits; to sell what you make with it, buy its author’s licence.

Boogaloo has the same heavy, hand-cut look as Grinched, its strokes ending in flat, slightly crooked cuts, but its edges are smoother and its letters narrower. Use it for anything, even things you sell.

What the font has, before you download it.
Open the file in a font app from the App Store and install it. Then pick it in Pages, Keynote or Procreate.
Unzip the file, right-click the .ttf and choose Install. It shows up in Word, Photoshop and Cricut Design Space.
Unzip the file, double-click the .ttf and press Install.
In Brand Kit, choose Upload a font and pick the .ttf. Uploading fonts needs Canva Pro.
Install the font on your computer first, then restart Design Space: it is under System fonts.
They take no fonts. Save your words as a picture at the top of this page and add it as a sticker.
The font people mean by the Grinch font is Grinched, a fancy, cartoon font by Sharkshock (Dennis Ludlow). DaFont lists it as free for personal use, and Sharkshock says its free fonts are for non-commercial use only. It was made by Sharkshock, not by the Grinch’s owner, Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
Grinched is not given here. Sharkshock’s license page says you may not redistribute its fonts, while its fonts page says the free files may be passed on with the readme left in; the two disagree, so download it from Sharkshock yourself. The font here is Boogaloo by John Vargas Beltrán. Released free under the SIL Open Font License, it has the same chunky, hand-cut look as the grinch font.
Grinched is thick and crooked. Its letters look cut from paper with scissors: ragged edges, a heavy capital T and letters that sit at slightly different angles. The Grinch himself is green, and the page borrows his green fur and the red of the Santa suit he wears to steal Christmas.
With Solid on the Logo backdrop, your words come out Grinch green against deep Christmas red. Glow lends the green a gentle halo on a dark background, Outline puts a Grinch-green border around text laid on a photo, and Clear keeps just the letters for overlaying a tree picture.
For letters to print and color in for the same craft, try bubble letters.
Boogaloo is the free font given on this page: heavy, hand-cut letters like Grinched. On the sheet we compared, Caveat Brush, Londrina Solid and Chewy came near too, all free under open licenses.
Grinched is free for personal use only. For commercial work Sharkshock asks you to buy a license, and its license page lists them from $115. Under the SIL Open Font License, the Boogaloo offered on this page costs nothing for any project.
We found none named for the Grinch. Canva Pro lets you upload your own fonts in the Brand Kit, so add Boogaloo, or Grinched from Sharkshock for personal projects.
Cricut’s Design Space can work with fonts that are installed on your PC. Install Boogaloo like any other font and pick it there, or install Grinched from Sharkshock for a shirt or mug you keep or give away.
Boogaloo can appear on merchandise you sell, as long as the wording is yours. Grinched needs a commercial license from Sharkshock, and the Grinch’s name and character belong to Dr. Seuss Enterprises, so keep them off your products.
