LAUNCHED - Typography Variables (Font size, Font weight and style...)

I would love to be able to set variables for font sizes.
That way i could define the reduction amount for the mobile versions of our designs.

Set a vaiable of 40px and a mode “mobile” with the value 32.
This would make this kind of conversions a breeze: If a text looks to big, opt for its mobile version. done.

I think it would be just as efficient if we had a style variable so a variable could be linked to a specific style which would allow for font customization for each variable mode. This would be huge for responsive.

This has also been requested here:

Bump that notion! Please make it happen, Figma!

I was looking for the same think for iOS Accessibility, to easily check different Accessibility sizes.

I’m designing an app where people can add themes and text overlays to their camera, and it’d be great to build a working prototype for the team where I can use variables to test out different themes (colors, fonts, font sizes, uppercase, etc) for a single layout.

I’d love to see more flexibility with variables 🤞t3:

I’ve hit this limitation today. Could really do with font size as a variable. Come on Figma team… an early Christmas present perhaps?

100% agree! So important to really use the variable system productive. When can we expect typography support?

I’m just a designer, standing in front of this font size, asking it to accept variables.
