font weight
How bold text
Font weight is the thickness or heaviness of characters in a typeface.
Most fonts range from light to bold, with regular (or normal) weight in the middle.
In digital typography, weights are often numbered from 100 (thin) to 900 (black), with 400 being regular and 700 bold: Set the font weight to 600 for semibold headings.
