    \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]
    \setupindenting    [yes, \the\baselineskip]
    %\definefontfamily [figurefamily] [serif] [Latin Modern Sans]
    %\setupfloats [align=middle,
    style={\switchtobodyfont[figurefamily]}, indenting=no]
    \setupcaptions [style=ss]
    \setupframed[style=it]

    \starttext
    \input knuth

    \startplacefigure[title={Not a figure}]
    Word
    \stopplacefigure

    \startplacetable[title={A table}]
    \starttable[||]
    \NC Table\NC\NR
    \stoptable
    \stopplacetable

    \startplacefigure[title={A bovine figure}]
    \externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]
    \stopplacefigure

    \startplaceintermezzo[title={An intermezzo}]
    \startframedtext
    \input ward
    \stopframedtext
    \stopplaceintermezzo

    \stoptext

Captions are styled separately from the floats, hence \setupcaptions.

"Word" is not a figure. \startplacefigure does not make what follows a 
figure. When a real figure is set with \startplacefigure, it is centered 
by default.

You may be able to get away with style=ss instead of a new font 
definition if the sans is linked to the main serif font.

The contents of a float are styled according to the type of float.
