Syntax

@font-feature-values Font Name {

  @styleset {
    nice-style: 12;
  }
  @swash {
    fancy: 2;
  }
}

Each @font-feature-values block can contain a list of feature value blocks (listed below), as well as the font-display descriptor.

Feature value blocks

@swash

Specifies a feature name that will work with the swash() functional notation of font-variant-alternates. A swash feature value definition allows only one value: ident1: 2 is valid, but ident2: 2 4 isn't.

@annotation

Specifies a feature name that will work with the annotation() functional notation of font-variant-alternates. An annotation feature value definition allows only one value: ident1: 2 is valid, but ident2: 2 4 isn't.

@ornaments

Specifies a feature name that will work with the ornaments() functional notation of font-variant-alternates. An ornaments feature value definition allows only one value: ident1: 2 is valid, but ident2: 2 4 isn't.

@stylistic

Specifies a feature name that will work with the stylistic() functional notation of font-variant-alternates. A stylistic feature value definition allows only one value: ident1: 2 is valid, but ident2: 2 4 isn't.

@styleset

Specifies a feature name that will work with the styleset() functional notation of font-variant-alternates. A styleset feature value definition allows an unlimited number of values: ident1: 2 4 12 1 maps to the OpenType values ss02, ss04, ss12, and ss01. Note that values higher than 99 are valid, but don't map to any OpenType values and are ignored.

@character-variant

Specifies a feature name that will work with the character-variant() functional notation of font-variant-alternates. A character-variant feature value definition allows either one or two values: ident1: 3 maps to cv03=1, and ident2: 2 4 maps to cv02=4, but ident2: 2 4 5 is invalid.

Formal syntax

@font-feature-values = 
  @font-feature-values <family-name># { <declaration-rule-list> }  

<family-name> = 
  <string>         |
  <custom-ident>+  

Examples

Using @styleset in a @font-feature-values rule

/* At-rule for "nice-style" in Font One */
@font-feature-values Font One {
  @styleset {
    nice-style: 12;
  }
}

/* At-rule for "nice-style" in Font Two */
@font-feature-values Font Two {
  @styleset {
    nice-style: 4;
  }
}

/* Apply the at-rules with a single declaration */
.nice-look {
  font-variant-alternates: styleset(nice-style);
}
