How to use transform scale to make letter larger than "bolder"

I want to make a letter with a large girth but using transform scale doesn't work. It either makes the letter wide or long.

<div class="g">g</div>

@media(min-width: 768px){.g {font-size: 500px; position: 
relative; bottom: 435px; left: 550px;font-weight: bolder}} 

Tried:

@media(min-width: 768px){.g {font-size: 500px; position: 
relative; bottom: 435px; left: 550px;font-weight: bolder; 
transform:scale(2.0,1.0)}} 

But, as mentioned, alters width/height not girth.
