Day 86/100 Font Weight

Finding the right balance on details needed to accomplish the ideal design must value the hierarchy of context and establish possible outcomes to solidify the final result.

The font-weight property can take any one of these keyword values:

• bold: Bold font weight.
• normal: Normal font weight. This is the default value.
• lighter: One font weight lighter than the element’s parent value.
• bolder: One font weight bolder than the element’s parent value

Numerical values can range from 1 (lightest) to 1000 (boldest), but it
is common practice to use increments of 100. A font weight of 400 is equal to the keyword value normal, and a font weight of 700 is equal to bold.
