Yes, and it's what variants were intended to address, to "stack" font
switching behaviour on top of known shapes and weights. Old Style
sometimes exists in more than regular shapes. Small Caps appear in bold
and sometimes even italics versions. (Variants were also to get at fonts
that wouldn't normally have a style associated with them, as well.)
