Why does a font appear differently in Webflow compared to Figma and how can I resolve this?

TL;DR
  • Ensure the exact same font file and weight are used in both Figma and Webflow.
  • Test across different browsers to account for font rendering differences.
  • Manually adjust font weight, letter spacing, and line height if needed.
  • Use the same font delivery method to avoid inconsistencies.
  • Check Webflow’s default styles and modify CSS if necessary.

A font may appear differently in Webflow compared to Figma due to differences in font rendering, missing fonts, or incorrect settings. Follow these steps to ensure consistency.

1. Check That The Same Font is Used

  • Ensure that the exact same font family and weight are used in both Figma and Webflow.
  • If Figma uses a local font, you must upload it to Webflow under Project Settings > Fonts or use a compatible Google Font.

2. Verify Font Rendering Differences

  • Browsers and operating systems may render fonts slightly differently due to anti-aliasing and sub-pixel rendering.
  • Test in different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) to see if the issue persists.

3. Adjust Font Weight & Letter Spacing

  • Webflow may not correctly interpret some weight settings from Figma.
  • Manually adjust font-weight, letter spacing, and line height to match the Figma design more closely.

4. Use The Same Font Delivery Method

  • If Figma uses a custom font file, but Webflow loads it via Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts, rendering differences might occur.
  • Try uploading the same font file used in Figma to Webflow’s custom fonts.

5. Check Webflow’s Default Styles

  • Webflow applies default HTML body styles that can override design settings.
  • Go to Project Settings > Custom Code and add body { text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; } inside Head Code to improve font rendering.

Summary

Ensure the exact same font file is used, adjust font weight & spacing, test on different browsers, and check Webflow’s default styles to minimize rendering differences. If issues persist, experiment with font rendering settings using CSS.
