Multiple font-weights, one @font-face query
I have to import the Klavika font and I've received it in multiple shapes and sizes:
Klavika-Bold-Italic.otf
Klavika-Bold.otf
Klavika-Light-Italic.otf
Klavika-Light.otf
Klavika-Medium-Italic.otf
Klavika-Medium.otf
Klavika-Regular-Italic.otf
Klavika-Regular.otf
Now I would like to know if it's possible to import those into CSS with just one @font-face
-query, where I'm defining the weight
in the query. I want to avoid copy/pasting the query 8 times.
So something like:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Klavika';
src: url(../fonts/Klavika-Regular.otf), weight:normal;
src: url(../fonts/Klavika-Bold.otf), weight:bold;
}
Solution 1:
Actually there is a special flavor of @font-face that will permit just what you're asking.
Here's an example using the same font-family name with different styles and weights associated with different fonts:
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidSerif";
src: url("DroidSerif-Regular-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidSerif";
src: url("DroidSerif-Italic-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
}
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidSerif";
src: url("DroidSerif-Bold-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: "DroidSerif";
src: url("DroidSerif-BoldItalic-webfont.ttf") format("truetype");
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
You can now specify font-weight:bold
or font-style:italic
to any element you like without having to specify the font-family or overriding font-weight
and font-style
.
body { font-family:"DroidSerif", Georgia, serif; }
h1 { font-weight:bold; }
em { font-style:italic; }
strong em {
font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic;
}
For a full overview of this feature and the standard use take a look at this article.

Solution 2:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Klavika';
src: url(../fonts/Klavika-Regular.otf) format('truetype') font-weight-normal,
url(../fonts/Klavika-Bold.otf) format('truetype') font-weight-bold,
url(../fonts/Klavika-Bold-Italic.otf) format('truetype') font-italic font-weight-bold;
}
