Apparent weight - wght: 400 | wdth: 100 | slnt: 0 | GRAD: 0 | opsz: 144

Even though I know it makes sense to pull the weight of the display back in order to get the named display weight and the text weight to match in apparent presence or intensity. David Berlow demonstrated this and explained it well. I wonder if this 400 is too light. I think if we showed this to 6 type designers and 6 normal users they would all guess that this is a Light, not a Regular.

The issue provides only the variable-font coordinates wght 400, wdth 100, slnt 0, GRAD 0, and opsz 144; it names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the current design at those coordinates and the apparent-weight rationale described in the issue. Done is not defined beyond deciding whether the 400 setting appears too light.
