Curving text in your Figma designs can add a unique and dynamic flair.
Here's a simple and educational guide on how to curve text in Figma using the "Arc" plugin.
First, open your Figma file and select the text layer you wish to curve. This can be any piece of text in your design.
At the top of the Figma window, click the Resources tab and from the dropdown make sure to click the Plugins tab.
In the Plugins menu, search for the "Arc" plugin and click run to install it.
With the Arc plugin now installed, right click on a text element and from the menu click on Plugins and select the Arc plugin.
The Arc plugin interface will open and you'll see a slider called 'bend strength'. This slider allows you to adjust the curvature of your text. Slide it left or right to curve the text to your desired shape.
The great thing about this plugin is that it gives you real-time feedback, so you can see how your text looks as you adjust the curve.
After you're satisfied with the curvature of your text, click "Apply." This action will finalize the curve effect on your text.
Curving text in Figma is a simple yet effective way to add a creative touch to your designs.
By following these steps and utilizing the "Arc" plugin, you can easily transform straight text into something more dynamic and engaging.
Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't hesitate to experiment with different curvature degrees to see what works best for your design!
