The custom font can be comprised of elements from more than one font.
  • normal
  • italic
  • bold
  • bold italic

In the past I've used a heavier, or bold, font for normal and italic, and used a different font for bold and bold italic to differentiate them without making them too bold. It is not the best solution of course, but until Kindles allow us to adjust font thickness it will work, for me that is.

Code:
@font-face {
  font-family: "CaeciliaHeavy";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url("../Fonts/Caecilia-Bold.otf");
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "CaeciliaHeavy";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url("../Fonts/Caecilia-BoldItalic.otf");
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "CaeciliaHeavy";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url("../Fonts/Caecilia-Heavy.otf");
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "CaeciliaHeavy";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url("../Fonts/Caecilia-HeavyItalic.otf");
}

body { 
  font-family: "CaeciliaHeavy";
}
