The typeface itself doesn't dictate how you style the different heading levels in your document/stylesheet. Particularly with such a parametrized font like this one, there are many opportunities to creatively differentiate the treatments (and the smoother ramp makes that easier to do).

Yes that is right, I was commenting on the particular choice in the article.
The ramp isn't meant to be different weights. The left is the original Material Design 1 ramp that uses tracking and static font weight tweaks to try to approximate an even color. The right is an actual even color.
