Discover how to craft and make the most of Figma's typography scales, boosting your design's clarity and visual appeal. A detailed, step-by-step guide tailored for designers.

Crafting and using these scales means setting up a range of font sizes, weights, and line heights that smoothly fit into your project for a uniform look. This involves grasping how typographic elements play together, setting baseline grids, and keeping things steady across various screens and devices. Nailing Figma's typography scales helps designers create a seamless and visually appealing result, boosting user experience and visual storytelling.
