How to make a font thicker?

So if I'm right it's this font ➤ https://www.fontpalace.com/font-download...ns-script/
Not an easy one as there are part of a letter which are thinner than other parts of the very same letter.
Agree the bold is way too thick.

After few tries, I came to something which looks not bad and "respect" the thickness proportion IMO
Write your text,
Then in the layer stack/dialog right click on it and select Alpha to Selection
Then menu Select ➤ Save to path
Then menu Select ➤ None
create a New Layer
Then menu Edit ➤ Fill path...

   

Why this method instead of:
Write your text,
Then in the layer stack/dialog right click on it and select Alpha to Selection
Then menu Select ➤ Grow (1 pixel)
create a New Layer
Then bucket fill or drag n drop the FG/BG color to the selection

here is the difference:

Original
   

Fill path (no growing selection)
   

Fill selection with growing 1 pixel)
   

In the end it's your call of which either you like the most, but expect some deformations Wink
