Figma styles are reusable design properties that can be applied across multiple elements to maintain consistency across a design.
Text styles allow you to define reusable font settings such as size, weight, line spacing, and letter spacing in Figma for developers.
Variables function like CSS variables in Figma for developers. They are used to store reusable values, such as colors, sizes, or spacing, that can be applied across multiple elements of a design.
Updating a style or variable on Figma reflects the changes everywhere that style or variable is used, ensuring consistency and saving time.
Figma for developers offers keyboard shortcuts for style management that can significantly speed up workflow, making them easier to maintain consistency and apply styles across the design system efficiently.
Using Figma styles, typography, and variables makes it easy for developers to manage and update design elements at scale, ensuring a smooth, efficient workflow.
