CTAN update: cmgraded
Tiny fix in the OpenType font files: Added FontBBox to the CFF table. The missing box could have led to clipped-off glyphs in some viewers, even though that had not been observed experimentally so far. Documented exploration results for graded OpenType math fonts: All in all, this would only seem feasible with quite significant drawbacks, most notably without visual defects only when used in LuaLaTeX with several tweaks in *.sty and *.lua, but not when using the fonts in other places like MathML or Typst. See the section "OpenType Math Fonts?" for more details. Added an example with lowered umlauts as babel does in pdfLaTeX.

cmgraded – Classic LaTeX look and feel in different grades of blackness
This package contains OpenType and Type 1 (Adobe/PostScript)
fonts named Computer Modern Graded
that have been
generated from the original Computer Modern
fonts by
Donald E. Knuth and TeX metrics by applying different grades
of blackness
via METAFONT that make the fonts gradually
darker, while keeping metrics intact and not
turning a regular weight font visually into a bold one.
The fonts come in seven increasingly black grades and can be easily used. Text fonts are OpenType, while math is so far with Type 1 fonts, which means that text can be fully tagged and thus made accessible. There are many more options and angles to this package than meet the eye, just see the documentation.
Of course, the fonts can also be used outside of TeX/LaTeX, with anything that speaks OpenType, including web content.
