Using Optical weights in other sizes

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm working on a project for a client with a limited budget, meaning that I'm pretty much limited to free/cheap fonts. Fortunately, I've come across a great variable font "Literata" from Paratype, with axes for both weight and optical size. However, I really like how the lower optical weights look at larger sizes; in my opinion it works really well for titles, and has just the right sort of texture and feel that I'm looking for. 

That being said, I can't help but wonder if I'm committing some heinous typographic crime by using 7pt optical size at 48pt+... Is this something that you just don't do, or should I not concern myself with the numbers and just go with what feels right?

Thanks
