Unpopular CSS fonts opinion:
I think `font-feature-settings` is a lot easier to understand and work with than `font-variant-*`
But please do @ me!
@PixelAmbacht I agree. It’s nice to have direct control over what’s happening with the font, like driving a car with a manual transmission vs an automatic or something.

@cjdunn Me too, but folks who don't speak OpenType seem to struggle with the four letter features. I get that, though.
Still I grok that much easier than this rather convoluted syntax:
@PixelAmbacht yeah totally. I didn’t even know about that weird syntax.
I was thinking of the unintuitive ways it dealt with smcp vs c2sc and such, which I remember being annoyed by. Overall it seem abstracted in unnecessary and unhelpful ways. I prefer the transparency of font-feature-settings. If only they would cascade they would be pretty much perfect, but it sounds like that’s not gonna happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@cjdunn That's why we need hacks leveraging the cascadiness of CSS custom properties *steps aside to reveal wakamaifondue.com and throws 17 confettis on it*
