![Release banner](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/0/03842bede89537c4d56e49c50eaffbe3952551e4.jpeg) Fresh from the momentum of our last release, **Penpot 2.9** lands with significant progress in design tokens management (say hi to our very first typography token!), smarter text overrides for components, and a rich collection of quality-of-life enhancements. Let’s dive in 🌊 ## Design Tokens: Font size token and more We keep evolving Design Tokens continuously in Penpot: ### New typography token: Font Size ![Font size token](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/3/3539d71b816026ddbae1c5f427bdd985bfa5a904.webp) Say hello to the first of many typography tokens. **Font Size** is now available as a Design Token, and you can expect many more soon (font weight is coming next!). ### Import token sets via .zip Managing multiple token sets just got easier. Drop in a .zip file to import your entire collection in one go. ### Smarter token targeting Tokens now can be applied **only** when they make sense. Border radius? Only for shapes and layouts. Font size? Just for text layers. Spacing tokens (gaps, padding, etc.)? Only within layout containers. ## **Improved text resizing** ![Resizing texts](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/d/d8e8e6948b1a7db2eb5f0efe98fb3166415f576e.gif) - **Double-click text box edges** to toggle between auto-width and auto-height. - **Smarter resizing** : horizontal drags switch to auto-height, vertical ones switch to fixed, as it is expected. ## More Quality-of-Life enhancements Penpot 2.9 includes a stack of subtle but meaningful improvements that make everything feel a bit snappier and smarter: - **Improved dashboard sidebar** with groups that would help to differentiate projects from sources (Fonts and Libraries). - **New comment indicator** in the design workspace that well alert when feedback arrives. - “ **Save color** ” for assets is now a primary button, improving its discoverability. - **Bounding boxes hide automatically** when editing visual effects. This was already happening in some design properties and we’ve added it to the rest. ## Under the hood As always, we’ve crushed bugs, tuned performance, and cleaned up the pipes to keep everything running fast and smooth. If you’re really curious about it, here’s [the changelog](https://github.com/penpot/penpot/blob/staging/CHANGES.md#bug-bugs-fixed) with the complete list. ---
