Applying an Extra Bold weight and Italic style results in the font appearing as regular
Applying an Extra Bold weight and Italic style results in the font appearing as regular
At a glance
The community member is using the Google font Poppins for headings on their website, but the extra bold italic variant is not applying. This issue also occurs with other fonts like Work Sans and Inter. The font weight options shown in the dropdown are confusing, as they include "600 - Semi bold" and "800 - Extra bold" even though the community member has uploaded "Bold" and "Black" variants. The community members have tried re-uploading all the font variants, but the "Black" weight is still not showing up. Other community members have experienced similar issues with other fonts, and they suggest using a variable font or a single font file that includes all the required variants to avoid this problem.
I am using Google font Poppins for headings in the website I am developing.
It has a native Extra Bold Italic variant. Even though the styles are not applying. This happens with a few fonts that I tried - Work Sans, Inter, Poppins. And I have uploaded all the variants. The drop down for font-weight shows, 300 - Light, 400 -Normal, 600 - Semi bold and 800 - Extra bold. This is also confusing. Why "600 - Semi bold and 800 - Extra bold" even though I had uploaded "Bold and Black" ?
yes, Earlier, I only added 6 variants (including italics). And later I have added all the variants available. And I got 6 toss messages saying the asset exists. I assumed that was for the 6 variants I uploaded earlier.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution for you, but the same thing happens to me when using the Bricolage Grotesk (via my upload, not from Google Fonts). The 800 weight is greyed out even though it has been uploaded and works in other places.
Afaik this was a different problem here, but lets check your fonts, please share them here and I will validate if your fonts actually work with that weight and our detection is wrong
