  Yes, there is no such property font-weight for Label.

  

  Do you want to set the font size?

  Then you can do like this:

      <Label Text="Font size 24"   FontSize="24" />
      <Label Text="Large font size"  FontSize="Medium" />
  

  For more about font, you can check document Fonts in Xamarin.Forms.

  Note:

  I'm not sure what features you want, but here are some similar threads about the weight of the font, you can check them here:

  As I mentioned above, there is no such property font-weight for Label.

  What are you trying to achieve?

  Have you tried the font family ?

  Please refer to the following code:

  <Label Text="Different font properties on different platforms"
         FontSize="{OnPlatform iOS=20, Android=Medium, UWP=24}">
      <Label.FontFamily>
          <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="x:String">
              <On Platform="iOS" Value="MarkerFelt-Thin" />
              <On Platform="Android" Value="Lobster-Regular" />
              <On Platform="UWP" Value="ArimaMadurai-Black" />
          </OnPlatform>
      </Label.FontFamily>
  </Label>
  

  For more details, you can check: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/text/fonts#set-the-font-family

  Yes, we need to add font file to our app. And it doesn't have much effect on the size of apk, not increase much.
