Hi Jörg, "rm" and "serif" are aliases Your typescript definition seems to be lacking previous definitions, according to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Paratype_typescript_for_mkiv. I must say that never defined typescripts, because I never needed them. >> I think it is easier to invoke typefaces with the system font name.

I would say that best practice is the one that suits your needs best. If there is one, I don”t know it. But Using system names is easier to remember (I think).
