Once you have all of the letters drawn out, select them all and click on the “Align” button in the toolbar. Then, click on the “Horizontal Center” option.

Now that your letters are horizontally aligned, it’s time to add some vertical spacing between them. To do this, select all of the letters again and click on the “Distribute” button in the toolbar. Then, click on the “Vertical Spacing” option.

PRO TIP: This article contains instructions on how to make a typography in Figma. However, it is important to note that Figma is a professional design tool and should only be used by those with experience in design and typography.

Finally, you can add a drop shadow or other effect to your typography to give it some extra flair. To do this, select all of the letters and click on the “Effects” button in the toolbar. Then, choose which effect you’d like to add from the menu.

That’s it! Now you know how to make a typography in Figma.
