In this tutorial we’ll be going over how to choose type sizes for your design system for products. 12 is the smallest size I recommend for accessibility, and we’ll review how to choose line height and scale up your typography systems for any system. This can be done in any design tool, but I’ll be using Figma for my own preference. Have any questions or requests for other videos? Let me know!
