Where can I find documentation on "StyleHints"?

I’ve done some searching but I can’t seem to find any documentation on “StyleHints”. I’m using 11.3 on OS X High Sierra and there doesn’t seem to be any built-in documentation. A search on this site also didn’t turn up much. Is there any formal documentation? Has anyone posted a tutorial somewhere?

Thanks.

What is the context for this, that is, where is "StyleHints" used?

It can be seen in the Option Inspector: Formatting Options->PrivateFontOptions, for example.
