== [css-fonts-4] access to named instances ==
Reading the overview
[here](https://litherum.blogspot.com.br/2016/09/variable-fonts-in-css-draft.html),
I miss a way to access pre-defined instances by name. While it's
great to be able to choose a value for each parameter numerically, in
most common cases it will be easier for font users to choose one among
several named instances provided by the type designer.
Here’s an example to illustrate what I mean:
```
10. Use named, pre-defined variation instances contained in the font
@font-face {
font-family: "MyVariableFamily";
src: url("MyVariableFamily.otf");
}
<div style="font-family: MyVariableFamily; font-name:
'SemiBold'>hamburgefonstiv</div>
<div style="font-family: MyVariableFamily; font-name: 'Light
Condensed';">hamburgefonstiv</div>
<div style="font-family: MyVariableFamily; font-name: 'Black Extended
Rounded'>hamburgefonstiv</div>
```
note: probably related to
