Hi,

Is there a way to make the bold text just a bit narrower without affecting anything else?

Which of these do you mean when you say “narrower”

  1. decreasing the weight of the font, “less bold”
  2. making the individual characters that are bold have squished width
3
  1. bold characters to sit a bit more tight.

You should use other word, because “bold” and “shade” relate to text “weight,” IMO.

For different kinds/weights of bold, you can use different show-set rules:

#show strong: set text(tracking: -0.045em)
#show text.where(weight: "semibold"): set text(tracking: -0.015em)

#lorem(10)

*#lorem(10)*

#set text(weight: "semibold")
#lorem(10)
