Create Text Styles in Framer

Learn how to create Text Styles in Framer. Just about everything you covered about Color Styles in the previous lesson applies directly to text as well, with a few small differences that are naturally specific to text. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system.

Lesson details

Create Text Styles for the recurring roles in your hierarchy, such as display, heading, body, caption, and label. Set font, size, line height, letter spacing, and responsive behavior at the style level, then apply them to text across the project.

Use names that describe purpose instead of one-off appearance. Update the style and inspect several pages to confirm long copy, links, and localized text still fit.

Test with the content the page will ship. Longer labels, translated copy, and missing media reveal whether the design rules are flexible enough for the real site.
