How Do You Add Typography to Figma?

Typography is an integral part of any website or app design. It’s used to convey the message and create a visual hierarchy to make content easier to read and understand.

In Figma, you can add typography to your design by using the text tool. The text tool allows you to easily change the font, size, color, alignment and more of your text.

To add typography to Figma, start by selecting the Text Tool from the Tools Panel on the left-hand side of the screen. This will open up a Text Properties Panel on the right-hand side which gives you access to all of the text formatting options. Here you can select a font family, font size, color, alignment and more.

You can also add additional styling such as bolding or italicizing text using the Bold and Italic buttons in the panel. You can also underline or strikethrough text using the Underline and Strikethrough buttons in this panel as well.

If you need to make more advanced changes to your typography such as adding shadows or borders, then you can use Figma’s Layer Styles feature. To do this, select a layer with your typography on it then click ‘Layer’ from the menu bar at the top of your screen before selecting ‘Layer Style’ from the dropdown menu.

Figma will then open up a Layer Styles Panel which allows you to make changes such as adding shadows or borders around your text. You can also adjust settings such as opacity and blur for each layer style that you apply.
