Variable fonts

I am attempting to embed the Quicksand font into an epub3 file, to use on headings and the title page.
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Quicksand

I note that it is a "Variable" font which contains all the font styles in a single file.

When using it in the epub3 on a Libra2, the styling defaults to "Light" instead of the needed "Bold" and I cannot access any heavier modes.

Is this because the Libra2 does not handle variable fonts?
Surprisingly I couldn't find an answer here on the forum or the fonts wiki page.
