“Good typography is good design. This collection of plugins for Figma will help you to improve the typography in your design.” Font Fascia and Fonts Changer are two of my favorites on this list!

Lottielab is a new tool for creating and managing Lottie animations that won Product of the Day at ProductHunt this week. Images can be imported from Figma, SVGs, or Lottie files, and exported as Lottie, GIF, or MP4 to any platform. From Drew, a co-founder of Lottielab: ​“We are streamlining this cluttered process into a simple, seamleass, all-in-one workflow, with all the benefits of modern design tooling fit for today’s product development teams — being web-based, collaborative and easy to use — no After Effects knowledge needed.”

“In this Study Hall, learn how to apply the use of variables in your prototypes with the assistance of variable modes and conditional logic to create a more realistic shopping cart prototype that uses real math.”

Dan Hollick explains the science behind making realistic shadows and recommends the Beautiful Shadows plugin that takes care of this for you.

Ridd interviews Luis Ouriach about using variables for his Deep Dives podcast. ​“Luis goes deep into strategies based on team size, provides naming guidance, and even breaks down how he thinks about structuring libraries with variables in Figma. Lastly, Luis shares a behind-the-scenes of his journey as a designer advocate and even gives a unique prediction for how AI will take shape inside of Figma.”

According to Corey Lee, the copy-pasting of collections is coming soon!

The introduction of wide gamut Display P3 colors to the design tools ​“broke” the familiar hex notation that all of them have been relying on. The transition to modern notations will be painful and take time. I share some context in this thread, but the main takeaway is to NOT use the #RRGGBB values for hand-off or external tools when working with P3 colors.

Andrey Sitnik (author of PostCSS and Autoprefixer, used on pretty much every website) goes a little deeper into platform-independent (CSS) vs. platform-specific (Figma, Photoshop) implementation of P3. He also added ​“Figma P3 hex” as one of the accepted formats to OkLCH Color Picker, which makes using Figma values in OkLCH much easier.

During Maker Week, Rogie built a handy plugin for attaching files to the Figma document for hand-off. Great tool for sharing fonts, high-resolution pictures, or other assets with developers.

A new plugin from the Tokens Studio: ​“Already have your variables set up and want to bulk apply them to your work? You can swap styles with variables or apply variables that match raw number values to elements in any file with access to your variables collections!” See also the walkthrough video.

Interested in learning how to migrate from Styles to Variables? Join Luis Ouriach, Akbar Mizra, Jacob Miller from Figma, and Jack Minogue from Ford for a look at approaches you can use to lower the friction of your rollout of variables.

Ozan Öztaskiran shows how to create responsive grids in 5 simple steps.

Christine Vallaure reminds us of using Selection Colors for applying variables to multiple objects.

An interesting challenge from Miguel Solorio — how to make nested icons in a component inherit color overrides when switching between outline and solid styles without having to outline the strokes? Two solutions that surfaced in comments are using a mask or a union.

“Saving” and ​“liking” resources are now combined to make Community simpler to use. Your saved resources are available from your Community profile or the Resources dropdown in a Figma file.

You can now embed videos in FigJam. MP4 and MOV files are both supported.

The number of installs or downloads used to be the only metric in the Community, but over time it was replaced with how many times a resource was used. Now you can also rate and review Community resources. It’ll be interesting to see which of the most used resources are also the most loved ones.

“On the Enterprise plan, workspace admins can now brand the workspaces they manage to reflect their group by adding custom icons to workspaces. Organization admins can do this for any workspace in the organization as well.”

That’s pretty cool, especially if your team has multiple products with distinct color palettes! ​“Introducing custom color palettes in FigJam: you can now create custom color palettes for your team, so your files can match your team’s own aesthetic or company branding (Organization and Enterprise plans only).”
