In order to save my users’ bandwidth, I only use web fonts at the lightest weights, usually < 300.

- rubyist5eva 5y agoI hate you.
- lifthrasiir 5y agoJokes aside, I would be amazed if there is any correlation between the font "weight" and the compressed font size.
- sings 5y agoTotally. Usually all weights have the equivalent nodes and curves in their bezier paths, so that intermediate weights can be interpolated between masters. The only delta in size you would get is if the joining/flattening of these paths resulted in different nodes in the exported fonts. As different weights typically include the same open type feature code and glyph set, I’m not sure anything else would cause much variation in size.
- gred 5y agoI assume it depends on your audience, and that in some mobile-heavy use cases 200 might be a better upper bound?
