+
+Use this option to change the font variant used to generate the social card.
+If the downloaded font has variants like `Condensed` or `Expanded`, you can set
+them with:
+
+``` yaml
+plugins:
+  - social:
+      cards_layout_options:
+        font_variant: Condensed
+```
+
+The variant is combined with the style as used in the custom layout, so the
+plugin is instructed to use combinations like `Condensed Regular` or
+`Expanded Bold`.
