Description

It has been well-documented that all fonts shall have lining numerals by default.

However for some fonts the old style numerals would be a better fit. Case in point are the various Garamond style typefaces. (Cormorant is actually served with old style numerals).

You can do `font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums;` in CSS, is it possible to support features like this in Google Fonts?
