Re: [community-group] Type: font name (#53)

I am very interested to see how this evolves. Are styles and weights on the same level of as Font Family or are they descendants? As the file format of fonts couples them together (and to a certain extent brand manuals, "we only use Helvetica Bold") but from a token perspective they can be independent due to how they get composed in the front-end.

Some challenges I have had in the past with Sketch:
As one may set their weights and styles at a token level outside of a particular typeface as "bold" but some typefaces have different values for bold e.g. 700/800. Or in some cases Thin vs Light being the same numerical value and falling back to Thin. Or the family, weight and style being one and the same e.g. A bold italic font having its weight set at "normal" and  style to"regular".
