[DONE] Bold text is barely distinguisable from normal text. Please change from 500 to 700 font weight

Bold font is currently font-weight: 500 !important; But that does not stand out visually, which should be the purpose of bold text. Please make it font-weight: 700 !important;

The font-weight 500 is called ‘Medium’, thus it is actually not bold, which is 700.

The current CSS of bold text is font-weight: 500 !important;
Please change this to font-weight: 700 !important;
Bold text stands out better that way.

Can we still expect this? Its a minor effort and makes life for editors so much easier.
I see that font size of bold is now 600, but that is effectively the same as 500 for browsers like Chrome, there is not difference.

As a test:
Say in two seconds which part of the text is bold here?

It is really hard to see, but there are two sections bold in that text.

Please make bold 700.
