We're still very much trialling Squarespace with a view to moving our site if it meets our criteria. I'm liking what I see so far especially the option to dive into the CSS and style the site to fit our brand. However I've hit a weird snag that I hope the more experienced Squarespace users might help me understand.
We use the Google font Montserrat. I'm importing that into our trial template and have it working to an extent. In the code below you'll see that I'm importing several weights, but Squarespace doesn't seem to be showing the font weights as I would expect. Weight 600 looks as I'd expect it, 300 (which is called light on the Google font site) is lighter than 600 but definitely not as light as it should be on the Squarespace site and I see no difference at all when I change to weights of 200 or 100. We use these on non Squarespace sites with no problems so I'm slightly confused why they're not showing correctly here.
If anyone has any suggestions or can tell me where I'm going wrong I'd really appreciate it. Screen shot below and CSS below that.

Can anyone else me get Montserrat 800 to work?
Thanks!
