As an author, the behaviour I expected when no `font-weight` descriptor is supplied is for the variable font to be rendered at different weights when `font-weight`is applied, not for it to be clamped to `font-weight:auto`. The implication is that if no `font-weight` is specified then the default weight should be treated as if normal (400) had been specified. (As per Safari's rendering in jfkthame's [test](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2485#issuecomment-378332696)). Conversely if a `font-weight` descriptor **is** supplied, then I would expect clamping to be applied. At this point in time, I'm particularly thinking about this in terms of `@font-face` rules which could include fallbacks for non-variable fonts. Clamping weights when the `font-weight` descriptor is supplied provides a kind of consistency between variable and non-variable fonts in that regard. -- GitHub Notification of comment by clagnut Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2485#issuecomment-380042941 using your GitHub account
