Does The Good Line-Height Offer a Figma Plugin?

Updated

Yes—the page for The Good Line-Height references a Figma Plugin. The site presents itself as a line-height calculator that simplifies type scales by automatically calculating the perfect line height for any text and grid combination, and the page lists “Figma Plugin” alongside its web calculator interface. That is the extent of what the page confirms: it names the plugin but does not describe installation, features, pricing, or where to get it.

What the page confirms

The Good Line-Height (thegoodlineheight.com) is built around a single promise: “Simplify type scales by automatically calculating the perfect line height for any text & grid combination.” The page shows a working calculator with these visible elements:

  • A sample typeface, Playfair Display
  • A Toggle Grid control
  • Numbered inputs: 1 Font size, 2 Line~height ratio, 3 Grid row height
  • A result line reading “The good line~height is:” followed by a column of values (48, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32)
  • A Turn the lights OFF toggle
  • A Figma Plugin label

So the page itself is a web-based calculator, and the Figma Plugin is referenced as part of the same tool family. Nothing on the page states how the plugin is installed, what it costs, or whether it mirrors the web calculator exactly.

What the plugin is intended to do

Based on the page’s stated purpose, the plugin’s job is to bring the same line-height calculation into a Figma workflow: given a font size, a line-height ratio, and a grid row height, it produces a line height that fits both the text and the grid. The web calculator demonstrates the logic with three inputs and one output, and the plugin label suggests that logic is meant to be applied inside design files rather than only in the browser.

A concrete example of the calculation

Suppose you are setting body text at 16px with a line-height ratio of 1.5 and a grid row height of 8px. The raw line height would be 24px, which already lands on an 8px grid multiple. If your ratio produced 22px instead, the tool’s purpose is to reconcile the text scale with the grid so the result aligns to the row height—the page’s output column of repeated values (32 appearing six times) illustrates this snapping behavior.

What is not confirmed

The page does not provide:

  • A link or button that installs or opens the plugin
  • Plugin-specific features beyond the calculator concept
  • Pricing or licensing information for either the web tool or the plugin
  • Whether the plugin requires a Figma account or paid plan

Treat the plugin as referenced but not documented. If you need it, search the Figma Community for the tool’s name and verify the publisher before installing; if you only need the calculation, the web calculator on the site covers the same three inputs.

Practical takeaway

Use the web calculator at thegoodlineheight.com when you want a quick line-height value for a font size, ratio, and grid row height. Look for the Figma Plugin in Figma’s plugin directory if you want that calculation inside your design files—but confirm availability and terms there, since the site itself only names the plugin without further detail.
