It would be great if Figma also had Sentence case as Letter Case style! This is extremely useful especially for people outside the US. It would be as simple as just capitalizing the first letter of each period.

The only options under letter case is “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case” and “Small case”. No option for “Sentence case”

If they did that, wouldn’t you constantly be checking their work to ensure they didn’t de-capitalize any proper nouns, acronyms, etc?


I too would find this useful

To meet our style guide requirement, we definitely would benefit from having Sentence case–only the first letter in the text box is capitalized–as an option. We’d be able to set it for the component, enforcing it by default. For proper nouns and/or acronyms, we would override using “As typed”. I spend a lot of time correcting labels in designs.

I agree with this, should have an option to set initial uppercase, just like the one in css


Me needing it brought me to this thread. CTAs for particular brands within the company require sentence case, not Title Case where I get Continue With Checkout or Add A Product. I’d also like to understand the rationale of not having on the first build.

Hey All, thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass this onto the team for future consideration. In the meantime, there are plugins in the community that may help.

Here’s an example:

Figma

It would be nice to have a sentence case as an option for text. This would help our teams follow the Design System guidelines.

Hi everyone, 

I created a figma plugin that automatically detects and fixes sentence case issues across your Figma designs. This plugin saves time, improves consistency, and helps teams maintain clean, readable typography across all screens.

Here is the link to the plugin - Sentence case fixer
 


What you can do with this plugin:

  1. Scan selected frames to instantly identify all text layers with sentence case issues.

  2. Review issues with a clean list showing every word that needs attention.

  3. Locate individual text items directly on your canvas for quick corrections.

  4. Fix issues instantly using per-item or “Fix All” actions.

  5. Add exemption words (like brand names or acronyms) so the plugin ignores them during scanning.

  6. Works with complex frames — including nested components and groups.

If you find this plugin helpful or have suggestions for improvement, please leave a comment as this will help improve the overall user experience that provides more value to your workflow.
