* Semi-bold 600
 
* Bold 700

You have to define specific name like
 
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifscextralight]
 
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifsclight]
 
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifscreg]
 
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifscmed]
 
  
 
and you will switch between each other with \switchtobodyfont[notoserifscxxx] like it's done [[ConTeXt_distribution's_Fonts#Overview| for this example of the available fonts]].
