Frequently asked questions

100 Thin, 200 ExtraLight, 300 Light, 400 Regular, 500 Medium, 600 SemiBold, 700 Bold, 800 ExtraBold, 900 Black.

Why do some weights look identical?

Not every family ships all nine weights. Missing weights are synthesised by the browser using faux-bold or fallback rendering.

400 for body, 500 for emphasis and interface labels, 600–700 for headings.
