A few fonts like Computer Modern are available with optical sizes.
This guide should help to use fonts from Adobe with optical sizes.
Replacements
Adobe provides four different sizes for their fonts, but not each
of them comes with every style like Bold or Italic, replacements
for these missing styles are defined in the font:optical:...
setups.

Font assignments
Each of the four sizes is designed for a specific size, e.g. Caption is suitable between 4pt and 8pt, the Regular size between 9pt and 12pt ...

Typescripts
To use the font in our document the font files need to be mapped to the different symbolic names.

Typeface
In the final step is to define a typeface where the normal size values are replaced with the size ranges.
