In Tilda's web design editor Zero Block, you can set custom font weight if you have a variable font installed.
Variable font allows infinite flexibility of weights for a specific typeface. No need to choose from a given set of weights—you can manually adjust the weight right in Zero Block.
🙌 It's handy if standard weights—Light, Regular, Medium, etc.—aren't good for your project. For instance, you want to add a lot of text to the page, but Light weight looks too transparent, and Regular looks too bold. Then you can set an intermediate weight value by using the slider in the editor.
Another advantage is faster page load speed as you install one font file with all weights instead of seven different files. For example, the Tilda Sans font file is 75KB vs 300-400KB for standard font files. The traffic volume decreases and the page loads faster.
