Comment:

 In Firefox (Windows), the `bolder` font weight in elements such as
 paragraphs and list items only increases the weight from `300` to `400`.
 That is not very noticeable for a strong emphasis.

 The theme's weight was chosen purposely, but maybe it would be worth
 defining the `font-weight` as `bold` or a numerical value for `strong`
 elements in body text.
