You can combine whatever you like in one typescript, but you’re restricted to six styles (regular, italic, slanted, bold, bold italic, bold slanted). You can just “abuse” the italic or slanted styles for your other weights.

If we're restricted to six styles why does this Wiki page show seven?

Not meant as a criticism - just a naive question from someone who is puzzled.

Yes, you could also abuse \sc for another style. Small caps are a bit special though, nowadays they’re often contained in fonts and you address them via OpenType features. Hraban
