Use REM sizing for responsive type in Framer
Learn how to use REM sizing for responsive type in Framer. REM sizing makes responsive design in Framer easier than ever. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system.
Lesson details
Set the root text size, then use REM values for type and spacing that should scale from that shared base. Keep the type hierarchy expressed as a small set of intentional ratios instead of converting every pixel value mechanically.
Resize the viewport and test browser zoom to check how the system responds. Use minimum and maximum sizes where a fluid value would otherwise become too small or too large.
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.
