Google Fonts too bold

Does the text in question have an h1 or h2 tag perchance? Google fonts default these to bold without you asking. (I think it might be a css thing?) I find it’s too much for my tastes.

To get around this, go into the styles menu and hit the “Extended” tab for the style in question. From there, assign the font weight you desire. For h1 tags, I usually assign a font weight of 600. This will over ride the bold setting that google fonts seem to pick up.

Name: font-weight
Value: 600

You can also try putting 400 in there and see if you like it. You can look at the font weights you’ve installed to help pick the right weight. Usually, you will need to upload to see the results.
