@JTDType The current names are only confusing insofar as I would have guessed Display is the largest opsz, and would not be sure about the ordering of Tiny vs Micro.
I was thinking maybe something like the below as a mnemonic for the design concept, without it suggesting actual, absolute optical sizes?

@db @JTDType I also have the impression that the Display style is generally intended for font sizes larger than Headline. Your naming in words suggests there is no Regular/Text size – there’s above average and below average. If that’s your intention, you could also go with: XXL XL L S XS A middle weight would be M. R-Typography has been using a system like this for years (and I think they are not the only ones). It allows users to decide for themselves what they consider large or small.

@db I like this idea! Kinda like a telescope or a microscope.
