When entering numbers for font weight tokens, it’s currently only possible to enter a number that’s already aliased to a named weight (e.g. 400/normal/regular). Trying to enter a number other than an already-aliased one causes a validation error. E.g. 333 is invalid, but 300 is not.
The DTCG Format Module spec allows any number in the [1, 1000] range as a valid value for a token of type fontWeight.
A key practical benefit of fontWeight tokens is to alias ‘magic’ numbers of a variable weight axis to more memorable aliases, e.g. font.weight.default: 420 font.weight.thicc: 744. Given that the standard 100–step values (up too 900) are already well-aliased in most tools and languages, it almost feels pointless to set weight tokens in Penpot.
This is still by far the best, most complete token feature in a design tool right now (as you can tell from the niche request) and I’d love to see it be just a little better aligned to the DTCG format module!
