Follow-up from "Type scale > Update Pajamas typography docs"
The following discussion from !3436 (merged) should be addressed:
-
@jeldergl started a discussion: (+2 comments) $gl-font-weight-light: 300; $gl-font-weight-normal: 400; $gl-font-weight-semibold: 500; $gl-font-weight-bold: 600;
@danmh our own weight variables currently don’t match up with the default CSS numerical mappings. I think semi-bold should be 600, and bold 700.
We could refine bold with variable weight now or later, but the 600 mapping to semi-bold is default in CSS, and would be good to use if possible.
Proposal
- Evaluate the scope and impact of aligning variables with default CSS weights.
- Make necessary changes if possible.
