    Hi everybody,
    I recently changed my font to “Geist” and noticed that only the 400 weight is available. However, when I set it to 600 or 700, the weight still changes slightly (although there’s no visible difference between 600 and 700, as you can see).

    Out of curiosity, is it normal for some fonts to have only one available weight while others (like Inter) have multiple weights? And if so, why am I still able to set the weight to 600 or 700 even though those weights shouldn’t exist?

    Thanks 🙂

    Yes it’s normal. Browsers will try and fake weights when weights are not available.

    Is there any chance that other font variants for this font will be available in Nordcraft? 😬

    I’m not sure why they’re not given they’re available on google fonts. Cc @Jacob Kofoed

    Wait Geist is a variable font so it should be working as expected. You can just define the weights without having to load in a new font.
  • But maybe the should show up on the variants section.
  • Fonts are one of the most difficult parts of front end I think 😅

    Setting the weight seems not to work. There isn´t a difference between the weights

    It´s solved now.
  • I´ve tested this in another project and the problem did not appear there so I deleted the font and installed it again..now it works
  • Thanks for your help 🙏
