Font weight

A numeric weight or a DTCG weight keyword.

Partial: the reference list also offers number tokens, which give a type mismatch.

Value format

{ "$type": "fontWeight", "$value": 600 }

{ "$type": "fontWeight", "$value": "semi-bold" }

A number from 1 to 1000, or one of the keywords in the table below.

In Syntope Tokens

Type a weight or a keyword, or pick one under presets. A reference must point to another font weight token. The reference list also offers number tokens, but such a reference fails with a type mismatch. Create a font weight token instead.

Applying to layers

Apply token works on text layers. The plugin keeps the family of each styled range and looks for a face that matches the weight. A weight between two rows uses the nearer one, and a tie uses the lighter one.

Weight	Keywords	Figma face names tried, in order
100	thin, hairline	Thin, Hairline
200	extra-light, ultra-light	Extra Light, ExtraLight, Ultra Light, UltraLight
300	light	Light
400	normal, regular, book	Regular, Normal, Book, Roman
500	medium	Medium
600	semi-bold, demi-bold	Semi Bold, Semibold, Demi Bold, Demibold, SemiBold, DemiBold
700	bold	Bold
800	extra-bold, ultra-bold	Extra Bold, ExtraBold, Ultra Bold, UltraBold
900	black, heavy	Black, Heavy
950	extra-black, ultra-black	Extra Black, ExtraBlack, Ultra Black

Italic and Oblique on the layer are kept, for example Bold Italic.

If the family has no matching face, the layer stays unchanged and the plugin reports it. Choose a weight the family has, or name the exact face in a typography token.

Figma variables

Maps to a FLOAT variable. A keyword is converted to its number, so semi-bold becomes 600.
