💡 Hint
Think about the numeric scale where 400 is normal and 900 is the boldest.
✗ Incorrect
The font-weight property uses numeric values from 100 to 900 in increments of 100. 400 is normal weight, 900 is the boldest. 600 is bolder than normal but lighter than 900.

Think about how font thickness affects how easy it is to read text.
✗ Incorrect
Very light font-weight can make text hard to read, especially for people with vision difficulties or on screens with poor contrast. This reduces accessibility.
