Beyond Content Replacement
Most automation tools stop at replacing text content — swapping "Product Name" for whatever is in your CSV. But content is only half the story. What about the font? The color? Should the price be bold and red when it's a sale item? Should the subtitle switch to italic when it's a quote?
Xlaypand's Typography Panel gives you full control over text styling, not just content. You can change font family, font style, size, color, caps, underline, and strikethrough — all driven by CSV data or conditional logic rules.
What You Can Control
The Typography Panel gives you control over seven text properties — font family, font style, size, color, caps, underline, and strikethrough — each drivable by CSV data or conditional logic. Set them statically in the panel, bind them to CSV columns for per-row variation, or trigger them conditionally through the Logic Engine for fully adaptive text styling.
Non-destructive: All typography changes are applied per-row and automatically reverted before the next row processes. Your master template's original styling is never permanently modified.
Font Loading: Clicking Load reads all font settings from the selected text layer — family, style, size, color, caps, underline, strikethrough — and populates the entire panel at once. If you enter a word in the Word (optional) field, only that specific word's settings are loaded; leave it empty and the layer's overall settings are used. Depending on font complexity, loading may take a brief moment.
Combining with the Logic Engine
When combined with Beast Mode's conditional logic, the Typography Panel adapts styling based on data — bold headlines for featured products, red text for sale prices, italic for quotes, all-caps for category headers, and strikethrough for old prices. Each rule is a simple IF/THEN statement with no scripting required.
Real-World Use Cases
Social Media Ad Variants
A performance marketing team runs A/B tests across dozens of ad creatives. Each variant needs a different headline treatment — some bold and uppercase for urgency, others light and lowercase for a premium feel. The CSV contains columns for Headline_Text, Font_Style, Caps_Mode, and CTA_Color.
The Typography Panel drives all of it from a single template: font style switches between Bold and Light per row, caps toggle between All Caps and Normal, and the CTA color shifts from red for "Shop Now" variants to black for "Learn More" variants. Fifty creatives export in one batch — no layer-by-layer adjustments, no duplicated PSDs.
Sale Price Formatting
An e-commerce team generates weekly promotional banners. Each banner has an original price and a sale price. When a product is on sale, the original price should appear in gray with a strikethrough, and the sale price should be bold, larger, and red.
The Logic Engine handles it: IF Discount_Percent is greater than 0, THEN set Original_Price to gray (#999999) with strikethrough, and set Sale_Price to red (#E53935) with bold style. Products not on sale show only the regular price in standard formatting.
Performance
Typography changes are applied at the layer level and add negligible time to each row's processing. Even with all seven properties changing on multiple text layers per row, the overhead is minimal compared to export and Smart Object replacement times.
