Introducing OpenType Variable Fonts

Re:Introducing OpenType Variable Fonts by dorianm on Wednesday September 14, 2016 @06:38PM (#12501805)

So how can I get the different variations of the font in CSS? (e.g.: I want condensed ultra light for instance)

Will it work with font-weight and font-stretch?

e.g.: Will this use the font variations instead of letting the browser do the interpolation?

   font-weight: 100;
   font-stretch: condensed;

Google's announcement [1] about OT font variations mentions that a CSS proposal is in the works:

> Together with other browser makers, we’re already working on a proposal to extend CSS fonts with variations. Once everyone agrees on the format, we’ll support it in Google Chrome.
