Type styles are the typography options used throughout your project, and they're specific to each project. Your projects won't start with any Type Styles, and text elements will instead use Apple's native System Fonts (and System Styles) by default. Once you've created your own Type styles, you can use them for any text element in your project.
Play lets you fully customize your Type styles using the following properties:
The Name property is where you'll name your type style.
The Family property gives you a list of all the supported fonts in Play. If you have a specific font in mind, you can use the search bar to search for it.
The Weight property lets you choose between any variants (Medium, Bold, Italic, etc.) of the selected font family. If the font family you’ve selected has no variants, the styles slider will default to the style provided by the font.
The Size property adjusts the type size. The preview area will update as you drag the slider left and right, making the type larger and smaller respectively.
The Letter Spacing property adjusts the kerning, which is the space between each letter. By default, a new Type style will have a letter spacing of 0%.
The Line Height property adjusts the leading, which is the space between each line of text. By default, a new Type styler will have a line height set to auto.
The Transform property, you can make the text all uppercase, all lowercase, or all title case. By default, a Type style has no forced case. Only one case can be active at a time.
The Dynamic Type Accessibility switch allows your Type style to dynamically adjust its size based on each user’s accessibility settings.
