OpenType font features

Affinity Designer provides support for OpenType font features. These extend the font's character set which lets you present text with a greater degree of typographical control.

Font features supported include ligatures, alternates, swash variants, stylistic sets, and figure positions.

For fonts that support OpenType font features, additional typographic options will be displayed in the Typography section of the Text Studio.

To apply OpenType font features:
  1. Assign a font to your text that supports OpenType font features.
  2. From the Text Studio, go to Character>Typography, then Open Type.
  3. Enable/disable settings in the pop-up menu to get the look you like.
