Thicken Font on Minimum Menu Bar

[SociallyExceptional]

Hello!

I have been trying to "thicken", or make the font heavier on the menu bar here: http://taracustomhomes.com/. Don't want to change the color, but just need it to stand out a bit more. I have changed the style elements, but still not seeing any results... any help/ideas would be appreciated!

You are using Roboto which comes in several weights: 100, 300, 400,700

You could include the additional thickness/weights you want in the declaration which is made in functions.php

and then specifiy that weight for .genesis-nav-menu class.

Thank you. Yes, what I originally did was this:

.genesis-nav-menu {
clear: both;
color: #fff;
font-size: 25px;
font-size: 1.4rem;
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-weight: 700;
line-height: 1.5;
width: 100%;
}

I changed the font-weight to 700. However, the changes don't seem to be taking effect?

Try

.nav-primary a {
    font-weight: 700;
}

This appears to work for the menu bar on the drop downs (sub tabs), but not on the main?

I looked again in Firefox, Safari, IE and it seems to have worked OK on both the Nav Bar and drop down. Then I checked it on Google Chrome and , alas, it doesn't seem to have worked properly there. Idon't know why yet.
I guess you are looking at it on Chrome?

Yes, I believe so - I realized that too! It does appear to be showing in Chrome now, as it's quite 'fuzzy' =). I just went ahead and changed the color of the font. This seems to have helped!
