I raise all this to show the natural limits of intent. The content won't always be known, the interpretation of the typeface's timbre won't always be shared, communication is always imperfect and lossy. Best to take those first big steps in the right direction, whittle down the options, and commit to what feels right to you. No choice is bulletproof, and no amount of evidence is ever going to completely clarify or validate a choice. This is what makes these choices creative.
