$ fc-list 'Inconsolata' | grep Medium
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/inconsolata/Inconsolata.otf: Inconsolata:style=Medium

However:

$ fc-list 'Iosevka' -f '%{style}\n' | grep Medium
Medium Extended Oblique,Regular
Medium Extended,Regular
Medium Oblique,Regular
Medium Italic,Italic
Medium Extended Italic,Italic
Medium,Regular
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note that "Regular" exists as a style on it's own.
