Candidate Typefaces
- General purpose serif and possibly logo/title: Palladio/Palatino, with Tex Gyre Pagella as a FOSS and redistributable implementation.
- Headings and Headlines: Spartan, with Spartan MB as a FOSS redistributable implementation. League Spartan has been used with MMM and harkens back to Gizmo, for which a usable font is a pending action item that won't be ready in time for the 2019 website.
- Body text and general purpose sans serif: Noto Sans, which harkens to Verdana, which was used both on websites and in MMM.
- Monospace: Inconsolata, which has two FOSS fonts and was used on our 2013-2018 website design (Coriolis).
