Working with Fonts

Using font sources in tokens

Font assets can be used in Font or Typography tokens.

When creating Font or Typography tokens, each font in the list is associated with a source. These sources are listed in Resources. If you have used a custom font in Figma but haven't yet uploaded a source, the font will show up as missing. See Missing Fonts.
