Typographic controls

[twm]

Allow user control over the display of body text. Ideally allow adjustment of:

• Font family (serif vs. sans-serif, or allow selection of web fonts)
• Contrast
• Font size
• Leading (line-height)

Consider bundling a variable font like:

• Inter
• iA Writer Quattro
• Input — incompatible license
• Jost*

[twm]

For body text:

• Source Serif — WOFF2 files here
• Newsreader — WOFF2 files here

For monospace text:

• League Mono
• Inconsolata
