BPOZZ Design Note
The upstream text sets out to supply the oldstyle figures and small caps free fonts lacked, but the files shipped here have neither an onum nor an smcp feature. font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums leaves lining figures in place, and small-caps falls back to shrunken capitals.
BPOZZ editorial guidance for designers.
