Support for Type ramps

  1. having native support for Type ramps
  • text styles are absolute pixel values
  • variation in text styles and ratio hierarchy requires creating entire type ramp families and applied individually

What needs to be added***

Flexible base units and multiplier ratios on fonts and calling the hierarchal text layers each time it is changed

[Typescales] (https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/739825414752646970/Typescales)

  • is a plugin that does the job of generating ramps
  • applying them across the board is an extremely time taking task

Even after creating an automation with the Automator plugin
to create local text styles automatically.

Applying these to designs on a page to assigned text elements would be the ultimate pro workflow

How this helps***

Creating multiple type variations in minutes, speeding up exploratory workflows significantly
