As I understand, 'bolder' and 'lighter' simply step up and down through the coarse weight grid, and that should continue to work pretty much as it already does with a variable font weight axis. I think what Tim is talking about is more like being able to express e.g. size for different levels of text as percentage of body size. If the body type instance of a variable font is taken as the anchor (obviously, it doesn't need to be the body type) then it should be possible to express instances of other type in variable fonts relative to that anchor, such that if the anchor changes, e.g. because a change in device orientation increases the text size and line length, then the other type changes relative to that change. The tricky thing, it seems to me, is coming up with a way to express design space positions relative to an arbitrary position, since the anchor instance could itself be anywhere in the design space. But I'm no kind of CSS expert nor, for that matter, any good at math. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tiroj Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/536#issuecomment-249740728 using your GitHub account
