Currently we’re boldfacing labels of other fills without icons, such as ponds, at high zoom levels, whereas most POIs end up in normal weight because we only label them as points with icons. I think this is a useful treatment to keep. Can we vary the font by zoom level? Note that you’d need to use a literal expression inside each stop of an interpolate or step expression.

It's now been discussed a couple of times on Slack that park labels are too prominent (see #1290), especially at low z levels. This is somewhat exacerbated by the pending addition of Native reservations (#1289), which adds a second label style at low z that makes parks appear too prominent by comparison. This PR explores ways to de-emphasize parks at low z, perhaps by decreasing their font weight:

This PR:
Care will be needed to make sure the parks stay sufficiently prominent at high z however, maybe by switching back to bold at some zoom level and/or just by increasing the text halo.

This PR:
This should probably be done in tandem with an attempt to display parks via their rank at low z, as suggested in #1290.
