jonathantnealCSS Font Weight Names
A JSON Object of all CSS font weight names mapped to their numeric value.
Usage
var fontweights = require('css-font-weight-names');
console.dir(fontweights);yields
{
"thin": 100,
"extralight": 200,
"ultralight": 200,
"light": 300,
"book": 400,
...
}This list is generated from the Font Weight Numeric Values section of the W3C CSS Fonts Specification.
These values form an ordered sequence, where each number indicates a weight that is at least as dark as its predecessor. These roughly correspond to the commonly used weight names below:
- 100 - Thin
- 200 - Extra Light, Ultra Light
- 300 - Light
- 400 - Normal, Book, Regular
- 500 - Medium
- 600 - Semi Bold, Demi Bold
- 700 - Bold
- 800 - Extra Bold, Ultra Bold
- 900 - Black, Heavy
Installation
npm install css-font-weight-namesThese values are consistent with other frameworks, such as .NET FontWeights, JavaFX FontWeight, and TypeKit Multiple Weights.
Two minor differences are that .NET FontWeights lists extralight as having a value of 100 instead of 200, and that TypeKit Multiple Weights lists heavy as having a value of 800 instead of 900.
