Wrapping Up
Congratulations on learning how to bold text in Figma!
Turning the text bold is straightforward in Figma. However, keep in mind that some fonts offer only the Regular font style. In this scenario, you cannot bold the text, and we usually add a Stroke as a way around for this. Again, this doesn’t apply to all fonts, so be aware while selecting a font and ensure that it supports all font styles.
