Одна из характеристик начертания шрифта [вариант рисунка шрифта, входящий в одну гарнитуру], отношение толщины основных штрихов [доминирующий вертикальный или наклонный штрих] к высоте прямого знака. Изменения этого отношения образуют сверхсветлое (Ultra Light, Extra Light, Thin), Светлое (Light), нормальное (Book, Regular, Roman), Полужирное (Medium, Demi Bold, Semibold), Жирное (Bold, Heavy), сверхжирное (Extra Bold, Black, Ultra Bold) начертания . Количество степеней насыщенности может быть еще большим, а их названия могут варьироваться. В России в эпоху Металлического набора существовали, как правило, начертания только двух степеней насыщенности: светлое (для основного) и полужирное (для выделительного). В английском им соответствует Regular и Bold.
