How do you achieve bold fonts?

Hi there,
When using text for the site title instead of an image logo, I am able to choose the Rochester font and am given font-weights of normal and bold. When I look at the Google Fonts page:
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Rochester
it lists 'normal' as the only font-weight available.
How are you able to achieve normal and bold versions when Google only offers normal?
Please and thanks.
Hi there,
browsers will synthesise the bold font weight when its not available, which you can see in the browser dev tools for your site title ie. font-weight: 700; - its a bit 'janky' ( for want of a better word ).
