font-weight

The font-weight attribute refers to the boldness or lightness of the glyphs used to render the text, relative to other fonts in the same font family.

[!NOTE] As a presentation attribute, font-weight also has a CSS property counterpart: {{cssxref("font-weight")}}. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

{{SVGElement("text")}}
{{SVGElement("textPath")}}
{{SVGElement("tspan")}}
