- Font size and weight from 100 to 900, limited to what the font supports.

- Text style
- A saved set of parameters you can apply to different labels.
- Live values
- Curly braces insert a quantity, for example {t:2} shows time with two decimals.
Tips
- Add a caption "t = {t:2}" next to a body so students can see the time during the experiment.
- Catalogue fonts load only when needed, so the page stays fast.
