I quite liked the idea of the font itself deciding on its size, of its
own free will ;-)
To stress the point, there is nothing that can intrinsically define
the size of a font in the computer age. It’s partly arbitrary. It’s
the same for clothes, actually. In the UK, my shirt size is a 15½ and
my hat size is 7⅝. Go figure.
so given that when picking up a conference t-shirts at bachotex you have
to get one size smaller than you expect, one can also assume that the
gyre collection designsize is somewhat oversized
