\definefontfeature[myaxisa][axis={weight=200,optical size=12}]
\definefontfeature[myaxisb][axis={weight=200,optical size=42}]
\definefontfeature[myaxisc][axis={weight=200,optical size=72}]
\usemodule[fonts-variable]
\starttext
\definedfont[file:literata.ttf*default,myaxisa] Some Text\par
\definedfont[file:literata.ttf*default,myaxisb] Some Text\par
\definedfont[file:literata.ttf*default,myaxisc] Some Text\par
\stoptext
optical size looks rather useless
btw, we don't check for optical size in relation to the asked size anyway
