4 years ago This represents a general capability of font composition, when measured values, (in this case os/2 cap ht), can be compared and operate on other measures in, this case string width. (Algebra breaks out of its cage and goes to work.)
Below is in: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SflhKrvcPbOw_IqCMtNzwfBIuJweHNI8 I have two draft essays Around this issue, Mantra essay.draft-1 Grand procession.draft 1
...and can add font-size-adjust-to-width, along with the font-size-adjust-to width I’m demonstrating in; Mantra demo.pdf ...which is in the same folder.
There I begin to show how all kinds of values, internal and external to a well defined vf, can be used with knowledge of process, (mantra), to give the user a string of options, based on what we know changes when something else changes.
So, while: https://www.instagram.com/p/CC76CkyBQFK/, looks pretty cool, it's a make-work for line spacing.

The width axis can be "inverted" or "flipped" or some other word coined, for the UI and practice of using it to adjust the height of a style while keeping the line measure unchanged.
In some ways this is related to other axes - the same can be done with weight and opsz vs pt size, obviously grade also keeps measure unchanged, and there are probably ways that parametric axes can be applied in this way.
What should this way be called?
Does this warrant a page or a section on this site?
There can be recommendations for typesetting UI too
