    [caesar] I don't know if there's a programmatic rule for demi-bold though?
  2. [caesar] Is it the mid-point between 14pt bold and 18pt normal? :)

    @cyns my personal opinion is that it wouldn't qualify as bold so would need to be 18pt to allow the 3:1 ratio.

    Although axe allows font weight of 600 to be bold. So it may pass your font.

    From aXe .... var bold = (['bold', 'bolder', '600', '700', '800', '900'].indexOf(fontWeight) !== -1);

    Chrome Accessibility Dev Tools seems to be looking for an exact match of '700' or 'bold' to be counted as bold. @alice I think there is a bug here. I'll try to remember to log it on Monday - but setting font-weight of 800 (which should be bold) doesn't return bold in the dev tools I think.

    [alice] @jnurthen Yeah I think it literally just looks for 'bold'.

    Do you want me to log a bug or have you got it?
