CSS FONT-WEIGHT
If you want to control the weight of your font ( its thickness ), using font weight is the best way to go about it. We suggest that you only use font-weight in multiples of 100 (e.g. 200, 300, etc) because any less and you probably will not see any difference. The values range from 100(thin)-900(thick).
Example
| p {font-weight: bold} |
Possible Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| normal | Defines normal characters |
| bold | Defines thick characters |
| bolder | Defines thicker characters |
| lighter | Defines lighter characters |
| 100
200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 |
Defines from thin to thick characters. 400 is the same as normal, and 700 is the same as bold |
