Apply a family, weight, line height, text trim, letter spacing, text transform, and margin to each text style.

Line Height Trim

Line height trim removes the unwanted space from the top and bottom of the text box allowing us to better align text with other elements and create more consistent spacing between text elements regardless of the line height applied to the text element. This code in our page_code_base embed automatically applies our line height trim to every u-text-style- class and to every text element. Each font family needs a unique trim amount set in the variables panel. Not sure how much to trim off the top & bottom for your font family? Try this tool to find your values.

Display: flow-root

Each u-text-style- class is set to display: flow-root. This helps ensure that the text box hugs the characters when using line height trim.

Figma Text Trim

We can replicate the text trim effect in Figma under "Type settings" > "Vertical trim"
