Hello You might be able to create an artificial thin version of the font by using a negative value in the embolden option when setting up the font. I get artificial bold small caps (on the rare occasion I need them) in Monotype Imprint with:
\font\uimpbfive = "ImprintMTPro-Regular:+lnum:+smcp:embolden=4:mapping=tex-text:letterspace=-0.2" at 5pt But :embolden=-1 should (I think) create a slimmer version of the font, :embolden=-2 even slimmer, etc. (That's plain XeTeX of course.)
