From font-pre.mkiv:
%D By default we load the Computer Modern Roman fonts (but
%D not yet at this moment) and activate the 12pt roman
%D bodyfont.

No just the search files feature in Notepad++ -)
Ok, looking at type-imp-latinmodern.mkiv, under latin-modern-designsize, I see references to design weights and styles but not to optical sizes. So no lmroman5-regular, lmroman6-regular... lmroman17-regular. There is only reference to lmroman10, which is why my initial search came up with no results.
Ah, the abstraction happens here I think:
\definetypeface [\typescriptone] [\s!rm] [\s!serif] [latin-modern-designsize] [\s!default] [\s!designsize=\s!auto]
so [\s!designsize=\s!auto] means there is no explicit call to lmroman8-regular etc.? Interesting..
Ok, let's try it:
=======
\setupbodyfont[modern-designsize]
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
Test {\tfa Test} {\tfb Test} {\tfc Test} {\tfd Test} {\tfx Test} {\tfxx Test}
\stopTEXpage
=======
Now we get
=======
mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 4 files: latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf, lmroman12-regular.otf, lmroman8-regular.otf
=======
So three optical sizes are implemented. But there should be more, e.g., \tfd should use lmroman17-regular etc.

Ah, great. Am looking forward to learning how to \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] etc. once it's implemented.
Best wishes
