I am using natural tables to design key to symbols for my geography presentations.

I set a big bodyfont (Latin Modern 18pt, S4 paper) to make sure every pupil will be able to read. This is however oversized when it comes to key to symbols. I was able to resize table contents to \tfxx but I have troubles with resizing the header section to \bfxx. I could of course enclose each header in a {\tfxx }, but I am looking for a global solution. After reading this topic and this one, I tried this, but failed. 

\setuppaper[S4]
\setupbodyfont[18pt]

\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=off,style=\tfxx]
\setupTABLE[column][1,3][align={middle,lohi},loffset=0.3cm,roffset=0.2cm,toffset=0cm,boffset=0cm]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.4 \textwidth]
\setupTABLE[column][4][width=0.4 \textwidth]
\setupTABLE[row][first][align=flushleft]
\setupTABLE[header][each][style=\bfxx]

\bTABLE
\bTR \bTH[nc=2] I. Un espace enclavé  \eTH \bTH[nc=2]II. Une ZUP \eTH \eTR
\bTR \bTD  \eTD \bTD autoroute \eTD \bTD  \eTD \bTD grands ensembles \eTD \eTR

\eTABLE 
\stoptext

I tried under ConTeXt TL 2017 and with online ConTeXt garden.

PS : this doesn't solve my fontsize issue, but it looks like the header line is not properly closed. If I put a frame, it won't close. It will with 

\bTR \bTH I. \eTH \bTH Un espace enclavé \eTH  \eTH \bTH II. \eTH  \bTH Une ZUP \eTH \eTR

You need to use headstyle. To use the setup option header you need to mark the header as header by \bTABLEhead...\eTABLEhead.

headstyle

\setuppaper[S4]
\setupbodyfont[18pt]

\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=off,style=\tfxx]
\setupTABLE[column][1,3][align={middle,lohi},loffset=0.3cm,roffset=0.2cm,toffset=0cm,boffset=0cm]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.4 \textwidth]
\setupTABLE[column][4][width=0.4 \textwidth]
\setupTABLE[row][first][align=flushleft]
\setupTABLE[header][each][headstyle=\bfxx]

\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTH[nc=2] I. Un espace enclavé  \eTH \bTH[nc=2]II. Une ZUP \eTH \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\bTR \bTD  \eTD \bTD autoroute \eTD \bTD  \eTD \bTD grands ensembles \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE 
\stoptext

Alternative (less verbose):

\setuppaper[S4]
\setupbodyfont[18pt]

\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=off,style=\tfxx,headstyle=\bfxx]
\setupTABLE[column][1,3][align={middle,lohi},loffset=0.3cm,roffset=0.2cm,toffset=0cm,boffset=0cm]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.4 \textwidth]
\setupTABLE[column][4][width=0.4 \textwidth]
\setupTABLE[row][first][align=flushleft]

\bTABLE
\bTR \bTH[nc=2] I. Un espace enclavé  \eTH \bTH[nc=2]II. Une ZUP \eTH \eTR
\bTR \bTD  \eTD \bTD autoroute \eTD \bTD  \eTD \bTD grands ensembles \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE 
\stoptext
