\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] % for fake bold use “stretch=<number>”
\setmainfont
[telegrotesk]
[regularfont=* nor,
italicfont=* nor,
boldfont=* fett,
bolditalicfont=* fett,
italicfeatures=fakeitalic, % just the name of a fontfeature
bolditalicfeatures=fakeitalic]
