@Crissov I think the challenge is being mindful of terminology from type design and typography while still being accurate. In this case, `font-width` is the term that resonates most and aligns more closely with existing terminology from the design world, whereas `font-stretch` sounds more like something you're generally not supposed to do with type (stretch it artificially). I'm not sure that this is a clear-cut recommendation one way or the other, but in balance I've heard from a whole bunch of type designers/typographers that they feel `font-width` is preferable, so I definitely lean much more in that direction. (Not that it's up to me, but I'm doing my best to ensure the design community is 'in the conversation', so to speak) -- GitHub Notification of comment by jpamental Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/551#issuecomment-252640667 using your GitHub account
