You can apply only *one* feature to \definefontfeatures.

You need more typefaces. One for light, another one for condensed etc.

styles:

Serif       -> \rm
Sans        -> \ss
Mono        -> \tt
Handwriting -> \hw
Calligraphy -> \cg

alternatives:

-- 
Italic      -> \tf
Slanted     -> \sl
Bold        -> \bf
BoldItalic  -> \bi
BoldSlanted -> \bs
Caps        -> \sc

combinations:

SerifItalic -> \rm\it, \rmit
SansSlanted -> \ss\sl, \sssl
MonoBold    -> \tt\bf, \ttbf
