The larger the project, the more noticeable the price of chaos. On a simple landing page, you can manually fix a couple of headings.

A systematic approach to typography in Figma is crucial: it helps not only to craft an amazing layout but also to make the design solid and sustainable in real production. In this article, we explore the capabilities of working with typography in Figma, break down the core concepts, and provide practical examples.
