   Bodoni optical size — global (v0.10.0). Left to its own devices the
   variable font follows the rendered size up the optical-size axis, and
   at display sizes the hairlines thin to the point of vanishing on
   ordinary screens (reader feedback, twice). Pin every display role to
   the small optical cut — the robust, lower-contrast form Bodoni was
   originally drawn with — at all viewports. This also matches the design
   mockups, which were rendered in this cut throughout.
