What do type-foundry and platform documents say about tracking and kerning at display sizes, and do any video specs address it?

Two readable type sources give size-dependent tracking, and they disagree on direction. Inter's archived Dynamic Metrics page gives tracking = a + b*e^(c*z) with a=-0.0223, b=0.185, c=-0.1745 (z = font size), which tightens monotonically towards -0.0223 em (own arithmetic: about -0.020 em at 24 px, -0.022 em from 48 px). Apple's HIG tables list SF Pro tracking in 1/1000 em that is not monotonic (+6 at 11 pt, -26 at 17, +13 at 32, 0 from 80 pt) while New York stays negative (-11 at 24 pt, -14 at 48, -18 at 260). CSS defines letter-spacing as tracking applied in addition to kerning and font-kerning auto at the user agent's discretion. The video specs read (EBU R 95, DPP/Channel 4, BBC subtitle guidelines, Netflix Titles & Graphics, ATSC) do not mention tracking or kerning (0 hits). Curator qualifications: Excerpts E1-E3 present (CSS and Inter live-page excerpts not re-read). Curator arithmetic with a=-0.0223, b=0.185, c=-0.1745: 12 px +0.0005, 16 px -0.011, 24 px -0.0195, 32 px -0.0216, 48 px and 96 px -0.0223 em, matching the producer's work output. Inter archive page has 0 occurrences of licen, copyright, OFL or ©. Apple table values not individually re-parsed in this pass. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary. Limitations: [component_reuse_restriction] Inter page text licence not stated (OFL covers the font software, not the page); Apple HIG legal terms unread. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
