How to set Font Weight for Text view in SwiftUI?

SwiftUI – Text Font Weight

To set font weight for text in Text view, call fontWeight() method on this Text view and pass required font weight to the method. fontWeight() sets the specified font weight to the text in Text view.

Possible values for the font weight are

• black
• bold
• heavy
• light
• medium
• regular
• semibold
• thin
• ultraLight

Example

In the following example, we created a Text view, and set the font weight with heavy.

ContentView.swift

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, world!")
            .fontWeight(.heavy)
    }
}

This is how a heavy font weight looks.

Now let us create some Text views with different font weight values.

ContentView.swift

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Black Text")
            .fontWeight(.black)
        Text("Bold Text")
            .fontWeight(.bold)
        Text("Heavy Text")
            .fontWeight(.heavy)
        Text("Light Text")
            .fontWeight(.light)
        Text("Medium Text")
            .fontWeight(.medium)
        Text("Regular Text")
            .fontWeight(.regular)
        Text("Semi-bold Text")
            .fontWeight(.semibold)
        Text("Thin Text")
            .fontWeight(.thin)
        Text("Ultra-light Text")
            .fontWeight(.ultraLight)
    }
}
