Font
A specific style and weight within a typeface family, like Inter Bold or Helvetica Light Italic. Choosing appropriate fonts affects readability, brand perception, and page performance. Framer provides access to Google Fonts and supports custom font uploads for complete typographic control.
Font Variable
Framer
A variable font containing multiple weights, widths, or styles in a single file, enabling smooth interpolation between values. Variable fonts reduce file downloads while offering greater typographic flexibility. Use variable fonts for performance benefits and fluid typography that responds to user preferences.
Google Fonts
Typography
A library of free, open-source web fonts hosted by Google with global CDN delivery for fast loading. Google Fonts simplifies typography with easy embedding and wide browser support. Framer integrates Google Fonts directly, making them available without additional configuration.
Line Height
Typography
The vertical space allocated to each line of text, affecting readability and overall text block appearance. Proper line height prevents cramped or overly loose text—typically 1.4-1.6 for body copy. Adjust line height proportionally with font size for consistent rhythm.
Text Style
Framer
A saved combination of font, size, weight, spacing, and color settings that can be applied consistently to text elements. Text styles ensure typographic consistency and make global updates efficient—change the style, update all instances. Build a systematic hierarchy with styles for headings, body, captions, and other text types.
Typography
Typography
The art and technique of arranging text for readability, legibility, and visual appeal. Good typography guides readers through content while reinforcing brand personality. Study typography fundamentals—font choice, sizing, spacing, and hierarchy—to elevate all your designs.
Web Font
Typography
A font loaded from the web rather than installed locally, ensuring consistent typography for all visitors. Web fonts expand typographic options beyond system fonts but add loading time. Framer provides Google Fonts integration and supports custom font uploads for brand fonts.
