# Font Weight

{% hint style="info" %}
If a [**Font Weight**](https://docs.cwicly.com/design/typography/font-weight) has been chosen in a parent block, it will be inherited unless otherwise specified on the selected block.
{% endhint %}

The Font Weight property sets how thick or thin characters in text should be displayed.

It uses a numerical scale from 100 to 900, in increments of 100. 100 being the thinnest and 900 the thickest. The default weight of any block is 400.

You can apply a font weight to every Cwicly block. The Font Weight property is specific to the block and its children.

* Select a block.
* Open the Block Inspector.
* Navigate to the Primary or Design Tab.
* Open the Typography Tab.
* Find the Font Weight property.
* Select your desired font weight in the dropdown list.
