What's the point ?

Sad days for those of us used to "point" sizes for typefaces, eg 7pt, 10pt etc. The BBC's new typeface, Reith, has gone for names not numbers, becauses the end size depends on the online device displaying the text.

So, in descending order of size, the new Global Experience Language offers

Canon
Trafalgar
Paragon
Great Primer
Body Copy
Pica
Long Primer
Brevier
Minion

Will they stick ?  Who put the Minions in there ?
