Just to add to that. If I am using fonts that have their own font boldness and I need a 700 weight, I get fonts that include a 700 weight as its own font or I use the regular font and add my bold or 700 weight there. If the fonts that come with boldness does not have a 700 weight, I choose a different weight that is available or I choose a different font all together that fits my needs.
