Happy New Year everyone! I’m excited to start 2026 with another Hands-on demo. Typography is another favourite topic of mine… Mark your calendars for Wednesday January 28th! 🗓

Typography can determine the success of your design system because it defines the way users experience and engage with your product. In this demo, I’ll introduce you to typography design tokens. I’ll show how to create, apply, and name typography tokens in Penpot, and build a simple proportional typographic scale.
