Safari is the first browser to have fully implemented variable fonts. In that browser using the CSS property font-weight works to control the "wght" axis of any variable font. I've tried it with a few different fonts (Source Sans Pro, for instance). Unfortunately Lora doesn't work in conjunction with the CSS font-weight property, it only works with font-variation-settings. This is expected in Chrome, which hasn't fully supported variable font integration with CSS yet. However, it should work in Safari but doesn't.
