How to set normal and bold font-weight independantly with CSS?

I have a font with three weights: light, regular, bold. I would like to use light-weight for normal text and bold-weight for bold text.

Using font-weight: lighter doesn’t work in this case because it forces bold text to regular-weight, thus breaking bold functionality.

What is the correct CSS to achieve this?
