It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu).
It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”.
I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.
+1 here - absolutely necessary for a true multi-brand type system with variables
+1 for this, we run multiple brand designs system and this feature not being available is preventing us from fully rolling out.
+1 here too - we are approaching twenty brands and this feels like the missing jigsaw piece - it is very time consuming managing styles like this via content string names or overrides.
+1 really needed for a multibrand ds!
Yes please. Necessary for multi-brand. Seems like a no-brainer!
+1 for this, really needed for a multibrand.
+1 Much needed for our Multi-brand DS.
+1 really needed for multibrand!
+1 this is a necessity
+1 I also would like this to be handled properly.
I did figure out a farily elegant workaround to unblock this issue for our multibrand design system needs where only one of the brands use all caps for button labels. Here is an outline of the steps.
Use boolean Figma variables to represent text case design token decisions across modes. Publish the update if you are managing these in a seperate library file.
button/textCase/uppercase variable, and the as typed styled text to the button/textCase/none variable 
Now when I switch modes on a container with that component, the correct text layer is displayed including the correct text case style for that brand
I was just hopping for the launch yesterday to sort this out.
+1 It will be very useful
We’ve updated our entire design system to incorporate variables thinking we’d be able to unlock fast brand swaps and this is one of the nits that’s kept it from being a reality. We don’t want to have to maintain a second set of components and text styles that have to be manually adjusted one by one on every page to swap brands. Large orgs need this feature yesterday.
We need that too.
Allow Figma variables to control text transformations (e.g., uppercase, lowercase) and text styles (font, casing, weight) dynamically — similar to how we manage color and size with design tokens.
Design systems with multiple brands often need to:
Switch font families, cases (uppercase vs lowercase), and styles between brands
Reuse a single component (e.g., a button) but have it look/feel brand-consistent
Manage this with variables and modes, like we already do for colors and radius
Brand A uses "Continue" in normal case, Brand B uses "CONTINUE" in uppercase
Brand A uses Inter, Brand B uses Roboto
Need to bind these typographic differences to Figma modes or component properties
Add support for text-transform (uppercase/lowercase/capitalize) as a text property
Allow variables to reference Text Styles
Allow font family and style switching in sync with color and number variables
Cleaner, scalable design systems
More flexible brand theming
Simplified component maintenance
Stronger design-to-dev token parity
Found a workaround for this and created uppercase only versions of our fonts. That way for elements like headers that we want uppercase in the other brand, we chose the “AllCaps” font file instead of the regular one.
Ask ChatGPT to tell you how make an uppercase only font and it’ll give you instructions. I used FontForge. There is some sleuthing you might need to do in the properties to make sure these sit at the family/grouping level you want but I got it done in an afternoon.
+1 trying to setup a system for 8 brands and this would be a big help!
Obviously, please!
