The basic set comprises the following OpenType font files MinionMath-Bold.otf As Minion Math is a Math font it doesn't come with a text font which is why I use the Minion Pro text font distributed with Adobe Illustrator. That is why the full set of Minion Math has files called MinionMath-BoldSubh.otf, which contains Minion Math at the design size Subhead in bold weight. Of course, weight and optical size are independent of each other and can be combined. The corresponding size ranges are up to 6pt: Tiny Their names reflect the intended place of use. The most common optical sizes, as introduced by Adobe, are Tiny, Caption, Text, Subhead, and Display. Therefore people introduced optical sizes which are fonts optimized for a certain range of sizes. Unfortunately, this scaling is suboptimal and fonts with high contrast become barely legible at small size. Back when text was set in lead there had to be an extra set of glyphs for every conceivable size but with the advent of computer typography designers started to make their fonts only for 12pt font size because it could be easily scaled to any other size. Optical sizes or design sizes are fonts which are meant to be set at a specific size. To switch to a font with high weight in LaTeX use \textbf (or \mathbf). A glyph with thicker strokes has more weight than one with thin strokes. With weight a typographer means the thickness of the strokes which make up a glyph. You said that you do not get the difference between optical size and weight.
