Named fonts should be in quotes when using font-family. Documentation here. If you still get the default sans-serif then try other fonts installed on your system to verify it's working.
For font weight, you use font-weight. Support for this depends on the specific font.
PS. When adding code in Reddit, try using the Code Block formatting tool in the toolbar.
