Hi everyone! I’m happy to share an update we’ve made!

We've added Text Wrap, which gives you two new styles to make text responsive:

  • Balance – distributes text evenly across lines
  • Pretty – prevents a single word from being stranded alone on the last line

You can set either style on a text layer, a text style, or an individual paragraph in the text settings.

Thanks for feedback and your patience while we worked on this!

It’s apparently in a future ‘quality week improvement list’ so fingers crossed 🤞

I echo this request! This is a very useful CSS feature that I would love to see support for in Figma. The current approach I have of setting a max width on text elements that mimic how I would expect text-wrap: balance to behave in the final build is not super optimal.

This would be an excellent addition, faster for designers to work and easier for devs to get the correct output rather than copying across any brute forced line breaks added by designers to achieve the right styling.

I’m waiting for the day this feature is added to the typography settings. Many components on web we design for apply the “text-wrap: balance” property to the copy which makes it difficult to mockup representations of how it will appear on web without manual breaks or a plugin.

Not sure when they added it, but it’s in there now.
