It’s great that I can use variables within Text styles, but there’s a large problem with configuring font weight. I want to use number variables for my font weights. Unfortunately, if I want italics, I am forced to use string variables for my weights.


Figma clearly has logic to isolate font-weight and font-style from the chosen weight configuration in the UI (as seen in CSS code output), so why can’t I configure these two properties separately and Figma recombines them on the backend to identify the font face to load?

And when we use string variables for font weight and font style, those two properties won’t be shown as varibales in CSS code output, it’s a huge problem when it comes to mapping designs tokens …

We (Designer and Devs) really need the possibility to set font weight and font style separately! @Figma_Moderation
