The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in Fonts/Font Switching:
- how to define font size,
- how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic / small caps
- how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced, or to another fonts with \switchtobodyfont
- how to underline, strike...
Deep dive into typescripts
- Typescripts examples look at the existing examples to build your own Typescripts.

onum=yes
for old style numbers, vslnum=yes
for lining numberskern=yes
for kerning- See Ligatures (2017).
liga=yes

- Syntax for OpenType features from Adobe
- What defines the size in a font? (2019)
- How to set up a font family with optical size options
- Protrusion (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).
