How do I choose a font in Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:56 pm

Font choice in Figma is quite simple. You can choose from a range of built-in fonts or import your own.

However, before you do, you’ll need to know a few things about fonts.

First and foremost, fonts are designed to be used together. When you choose a font, make sure that it’s compatible with the rest of the design elements in your project.

For example, if you’re using a font that has a serif font style, make sure that all the text you’re using is also serif-style.

Next, you’ll need to decide what kind of font you want to use. There are a few different types of fonts: serif, sans-serif, script, and Myriad. Serif fonts are the most common and are characterized by the little lines that run along the tops and bottoms of the letters.

Sans-serif fonts are simpler and look less formal than serif fonts. Script fonts are designed to look handwritten, and Myriad fonts are a type of script font that’s designed to look like ancient Greek and Roman lettering.

Once you’ve decided on the type of font you want to use, you’ll need to find a font that’s compatible with Figma. To do this, open the Figma preferences menu (by clicking on the cog icon in the upper-right corner of the application window), and select the “Fonts” tab.

Here, you’ll be able to choose from a range of built-in fonts or import your own.

When you’ve found the font you want to use, you need to decide how you want to use it. You can use fonts in your project in a few different ways:

PRO TIP: When choosing a font in Figma, be sure to consider the following:

– The overall tone and feel of your design
– The audience you are designing for
– The purpose of your design

If you are unsure about which font to choose, we recommend trying out a few different options to see what works best for your project.

1. As part of the text itself: You can use fonts as part of the text itself. This is the default setting, and it’s the easiest way to use fonts in your project.

To do this, simply select the text you want to use the font for, and then click on the “Fonts” tab in the Figma preferences menu. From here, you can click on the “Use Font” button and select the font you want to use.

2. As part of the design: You can also use fonts as part of the design. This is useful if you want to use a specific font style, but you don’t want to use the font itself.

To do this, select the text you want to use the font for, and then click on the “Fonts” tab in the Figma preferences menu. From here, you can click on the “Use Font As Design Element” button and select the font you want to use.

3. As part of the image: You can also use fonts as part of the image. This is useful if you want to use a font that’s not available in the built-in fonts.

To do this, select the image you want to use the font for, and then click on the “Fonts” tab in the Figma preferences menu. From here, you can click on the “Use Font As Image” button and select the font you want to use.

4. As part of the design element: You can also use fonts as part of the design element.

Once you’ve chosen a font, you need to decide where you want to use it. You can use fonts in a few different places in your project:

1. As part of the text: You can use fonts as part of the text itself. As part of the image: You can also use fonts as part.
