Handwritten and calligraphic have no bold or italic styles, only regular.

You can write separate typefaces and switch between typefaces for outline
and shadow styles but for many cases \definefont is enough. The keyboard
can be written with the symbol mechanism because a new font switch \kb
takes too much code:
\definefontstyle [kb,keyboard] [kb]
\starttypescript [keyboard] [default] [size]
\definebodyfont
[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.3pt]
[kb] [default]
\stoptypescript
\definebodyfont [default] [kb]
[tf=Keyboard sa 1]
\starttypescript [keyboard] [libertine]
\definefontsynonym [Keyboard] [file:fxbk.otf] [features=none]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [libertine] [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [biolinum] [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [kb] [keyboard] [libertine] [default]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\rm serif \ss sans \tt mono \kb keyboard
\stoptext
