Hi Figma developers!

It turns out that exporting Figma fonts in JSON format provides the result that looks smth like this:

                            "style": {
                                "fontFamily": "Quattrocento Sans",
                                "fontPostScriptName": "QuattrocentoSans-BoldItalic",
                                "fontSize": 72,
                                "fontWeight": 700,
                                "italic": true,
                                "letterSpacing": 0,
                                "lineHeightPercent": 100,
                                "lineHeightPx": 84.375,
                                "lineHeightUnit": "INTRINSIC_%",
                                "textAlignHorizontal": "CENTER",
                                "textAlignVertical": "CENTER"
                            },

for a page like this:

And we face the necessity to invent some special algorithms for knowing the actual style name (that is “Bold Italic” in the example)
from the provided “fontPostScriptName” field (that is “QuattrocentoSans-BoldItalic” in the example).

Is there any chance to add the real style name to the structure? It would be very much appreciated.

    With a font like Inter the fontWeight doesn’t match what I see in Figma but fallback to 400.
    Adding custom logic based on the fontPostScriptName seems really hacky, is that what’s intended? 🙂

    Exporting font style names to JSON would really help when syncing design systems across projects. Clear naming becomes even more important when those styles are reused outside Figma, especially on social platforms or gaming profiles. I’ve noticed how much structured, readable style names matter while experimenting with Unicode-based name formats at https://thestylishname.com/. Having consistent exports would make managing decorative or branded text styles far more efficient for teams and creators alike.

    Having a clear “style name” field in JSON export would definitely simplify workflows and avoid relying on parsing fontPostScriptName. It would make design-to-development handoff much cleaner and more consistent across projects.

    Totally agree—having a dedicated “style name” field in the JSON export would remove a lot of unnecessary guesswork and custom parsing. Relying on fontPostScriptName isn’t always reliable across different font families, so a clean, explicit value like “Bold Italic” would really streamline design-to-dev workflows. It would also improve consistency when syncing design systems across platforms.
