I have no such fonts.  But Sauce Code Pro, for instance, has a Black
variation, which is heavier than ultra-bold.

`C-u C-x =' will tell you what font you're using.

Emacs chooses the nearest variation it can find -- it's very common to
not have exactly the variety requested installed, so if Emacs were to
complain about this, it'd be a lot of noise.
