Text Indent Effect
Text Indent helps you create clean, editorial-style typography by adding either a traditional first line indent or a decorative drop cap to your paragraphs. It’s ideal for blogs, articles, storytelling layouts, and any long-form content where readability and visual hierarchy matter.
You can easily switch between indent styles, control the indent size or drop cap scale, customize fonts and colors, and adjust spacing between paragraphs. The component also supports multiple paragraphs by separating text with line breaks, making it easy to paste in longer content and style it instantly.
Everything is fully customizable from the Framer panel, so you can match the typography to your design system without writing any code.
