Increase font-weight bold thickness

Question

I'm using Wordpress with a custom genesis theme (and Bootstrap) with Google fonts (Open Sans).

Within the styling of my H2 tag I've added: font-weight: bold; however I'd like to increase the thickness of the bold whenever I use the font-weight: bold tag.

Answer 1

You can use multiple text-shadows to make text bolder even if the font doesn't support the higher font-weights:

h2.section {
  text-shadow: 0px 1px, 1px 0px, 1px 1px;
  font-weight: bolder;
}

Answer 2

You can use font-weight: 800 or font-weight: 900 which are the only values bolder then font-weight: bold
