And the \font command is very direct. For this reason in both LaTeX and Context I tend to revert to the primitive.
This is no reason why you have to use \definefont for each font you want to use, write a separate typeface for for each of them and switch to it, you can also select the size with this method. There are also many ways to influence how the lines are broken, see below for a few examples.
\definenarrower
[adjustmargin]
[ left=0.1mm,
middle=0.1mm,
right=0.1mm]
\definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=yes]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,10bp]
\starttext \showframe
\input zapf
\startadjustmargin[10*right]
\input zapf
\stopadjustmargin
\start \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]
\input zapf
\stop
\start \kerncharacters[0.01]
\input zapf
\stop
\start \setupalign[hz]
\input zapf
\stop
\start \switchtobodyfont[9.8bp]
\input zapf
\stop
\stoptext
