The OT Family name field allows you to define an additional
(alternative) font family name. This name can be used to create a family
containing more than 4 fonts. You must use the same OT Family name in
all fonts that you want to put into a “big” family and make the OT Style
name different for each of these fonts. The fonts with one OT Family name
may belong to different traditional small families and have therefore
different Family names.
Here is an example of "big" OpenType family naming:
