I would like to make the font bold in the navigation on the sense theme, without changing other fonts within the site.
Topic summary
A user wants to make navigation menu text bold in Shopify’s Sense theme without affecting other fonts on the site.
Solution provided (multiple confirmations):
- Navigate to: Shopify Admin → Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit Code
- Open the base.css file (located in Assets folder)
- Add CSS code at the bottom of the file
CSS code to add:
.header__menu-item span {

One responder suggested using font-weight: 700 !important; for stronger enforcement.

Hello There,
- In your Shopify Admin go to online store > themes > actions > edit code
- Find Asset > base.css and paste this at the bottom of the file:
.header__menu-item span {
font-weight: bold;
}
add this code to your base.css file.
Navigate to the online store >> Click edit theme code.
Now find base.css and paste the following code:
.header__menu-item span{
font-weight: 700 !important;
}
