CSS Font-weight Thicker Than 900?
Answer : In CSS 3 there's another way to make the font size bolder: color:#888888; text-shadow: 2px 0 #888888; letter-spacing:2px; font-weight:bold; EDIT: For some sort of weird reason this doesn't look as pretty as it did over an year ago. It only works with text-shadow of 1px (on most common fonts, other thicker fonts might still work with 2px). And with text-shadow of only 1px, there's no need for such a large letter-spacing. color:#888888; text-shadow: 1px 0 #888888; letter-spacing:1px; font-weight:bold; To add to Gogutz answer, you can go even bolder by stacking up the text-shadows in a grid. Comma separate each on the line: .extra-bold { text-shadow: 0px 1px, 1px 0px, 1px 1px; } You can use text-shadow instead of font-weight text-shadow: 0px 1px, 1px 0px, 1px 0px;
