I can't for the life of me work out whether the sharpness needs to be increased or deceased. Could anyone explain to me the relationship (if there is one) between font weight and sharpness?

Thank you, and I apologise for my probably idiotic question!
I'd suggest an experimental approach -- try it and see what happens. On the other hand, if a 30 metre hole appears where your Kobo used to be, a different approach may be in order.

Regards,
David
