In Sketch, to update text styles, you have to update a textbox first, then click on the refresh icon that appears next to the text style. You would still have an instance of the header that is blue but all the headers including the customised blue one would change to 26pt. In the example I mention above, changing the header style size from 24pt to 26pt would not affect the colours of the headers. When you do that, Illustrator preserves the previous customisation of an instance of a text style. To do that in Illustrator, you double click on the style you created, edit it and it automatically updates all the texts inheriting that style in your design. You can edit a text style and apply the edit globally to any text that inherits that style. Sketch text style customised ( refresh icon appears next to the edited style) Illustrator character style customized (+ icon appears next to the edited style) Sketch does something similar adding a refresh icon next to the text style when the edited text is selected. This icon indicates that the header style was customized for the selected header. It adds a + icon in the “Character Styles” window next to the edited text style when the customized blue header is selected. Illustrator keeps the original inherited features from the text style only changing the colour. For example, you can set a header text style defining the font family as Roboto, the size as 24pt, the weight as Regular and the colour as black but for one of the headers, you change the colour to blue. In Illustrator you can apply different text styles to selected text within the same text box, whereas in Sketch, each text box can inherit only one style.īoth tools allow you to set a text style and customize an instance of it.
You can then update that text style once to apply global edits to any text that inherits that style. You can set text styles in both Sketch and Illustrator and apply that style to multiple text boxes. Illustrator assigns a “Normal character style” by default to any new text box, whereas in Sketch no text style is set until you create one. In this post, I go over the similarities and differences between the two tools when working with type. People moving from Illustrator to Sketch might find that working with type in Sketch is a bit limiting compared to Illustrator.
