I’m curious why the text properties in the inspector show the text size as TEXT STYLE, when the values are clearly sizes and not styles.

It’s the way they are configured in Tailwind. However, your feedback is totally valid!

The good news is that we’re overhauling the way font styles and sizes work, once we’ve shipped the next couple of betas, it’ll make much more sense (and we’ll have a dedicated size option).

I don’t mind the naming instead of font specifics, however the issue is that it’s difficult to predict what the real size impact will be from picking a different name (at least without a lot of practice). So anything you can do to help make the size adjustment a little more predictable in actual size would be helpful.

Ok, since you guys are rebuilding, I think the dropdown list for font sizes should be from smallest to largest w/ rem size in title and a few more smaller sizes as well:

3xs - 0.25rem  
2xs - 0.5rem  
xs - 0.75rem  
sm - 0.875rem  
base - 1rem  
lg - 1.125rem  
xl - 1.25rem  
2xl - 1.5rem  
3xl - 1.875rem  
4xl - 2.25rem  
5xl - 3rem  
6xl - 3.75rem  
7xl - 4.5rem  
8xl - 6rem  
9xl - 8rem
