Font X — Stretch · Fit · Skew Typography by tarelkin.design

Font X stretches text the way fonts wish you wouldn't.

Make any text wider, narrower or slanted — and paste it back into Figma as a fully editable text layer. No outlining, no flattening, no "detach and cry later".

What it does:

Stretch — scale text horizontally, ×0.1 to ×5 (or type any number if you're feeling dangerous)Oblique — slant up to ±90°Fit to Width / Fit to Shape — need text exactly 1440 px wide? Type the number, the plugin does the mathTemplates — save your favorite distortions and reuse themPreview colors — recolor text and background before committing, eyedropper includedCSS card — one click drops the exact CSS (skewX, scaleX, all of it) next to your layer, so developers stop guessingHow to use:

Select a text layerDrag sliders until it looks illegalHit Copy to clipboard, click the canvas, press ⌘V (Ctrl+V on Windows)Done. The pasted text is still text — edit it, restyle it, stretch it againWhy the copy-paste step? Figma doesn't let plugins create stretched-but-editable text directly. The clipboard is the only door in — we just put very precise things through it.

One-time setup: on the first run in a file, Font X asks you to copy-paste any layer once. That teaches it where to place pasted text — right below the original, pixel-perfect. Skip it and pastes land at the viewport center. Your call.

Privacy: zero network access. Your text stays between you and your clipboard.
