Our goal with UI3, our latest interface for Figma, is to keep designers in the flow by minimizing distractions and placing their work center stage. With that north star in mind, our team worked for over two years, iterating on myriad approaches—even reversing some core design decisions, like the floating navigation and properties panels, after launch. It’s all been in service of delivering the next generation of Figma UI to the millions of people who use it everyday.

Developing a brand refresh means rethinking its very foundations. As we charted an evolution of image, color, pattern, and motion, we treated our typeface as a crucial counterpart—a way to punctuate a heightened visual language. In the first article in our series on Figma’s brand evolution, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our new custom typeface, Figma Sans, designed by Swiss and American type foundry Grilli Type.

Since we first brought AI features into FigJam, we’ve been thinking about how to harness the power of AI in Figma. As with everything we do at Figma, our main goal is to give you the tools you need to do your best work—to look beyond the hype and find real solutions to real user problems. Through that lens, we’re excited to introduce Figma AI, a collection of features designed to help you work more efficiently and creatively.

The last few decades of software have been marked by exponential growth. This trend is far from over. In a world where AI will be able to output fully-functioning interfaces from a simple prompt, design is more important than ever. In fact, design is what will differentiate great products from the obvious solutions, and Figma’s job is to help you explore the option space of possibilities.
