Preview of the Font Weight effect

Sets how thick the letters are, from thin to heavy, and can be animated with keyframes. Works with variable fonts, which hold every weight in one file: Raleway, Quicksand, Comfortaa, Lora, Bitter, Orbitron, Playfair Display and Dancing Script in the font list, or a variable font you import. Fonts with fixed weights keep their own look.

Font Weight makes the letters of a text layer thinner or bolder. Weight goes from 1 to 1000: 100 is thin, 400 regular, 700 bold and 900 black. Animate it with keyframes and the letters grow bolder or thinner smoothly.

It needs a variable font, a font that holds every weight in one file. In the font list these are Raleway, Quicksand, Comfortaa, Lora, Bitter, Orbitron, Playfair Display and Dancing Script, and it also works with a variable font you import. Fonts with fixed weights keep their own look.
