Visible Attributes (as used by Super Search) and Find Similar

I’d like to be able to see where a font falls on things like contrast value, width, weight, and so on so that I can also use that information (manually if necessary) to find similar fonts.

Ex. I’m looking at a font (Argent CF), which is slightly condensed and has a relatively tall x-height, but would like something with a little less contrast. But I don’t have any idea where Fontbase classifies the font in order to find something close based on those attributes.

So, it would be a nifty feature to be able to choose which attributes to deem important for such a search (or toggle them after the fact, because why not). I guess it would be a kind of guided super search query.

At the moment, FontBase doesn’t expose detailed, measurable attributes (contrast, x-height, width, etc.) in a way that you can sort or filter by them. Most of the classification it uses is internal or limited to broad categories (serif/sans, weight, style), so there isn’t a built-in way to see where a font like Argent CF sits on those axes.
