# Recommended fonts — Corporate Modernist

This theme ships `fonts.json = []`; it does not bundle any woff2 files. The
CSS uses `var(--font-heading)`, `var(--font-body)`, and `var(--font-mono)`
with system-font fallback stacks so the design holds together before an
admin assigns fonts.

Per `docs/FONTS.md`, the spec's typography list is treated as **recommended
Google Fonts**. Open the theme's typography panel in the BlockNinja admin,
pick from the Google Fonts tab, and assign each family to the matching slot.

## Heading / display — `Inter Tight`

- Source: `google:Inter Tight`
- Where to assign: Open the typography panel, pick "Inter Tight" from the
  Google Fonts tab, assign to **Heading**.
- Why: Tight tracking, restrained letterforms, sits closer to Vignelli
  Helvetica than stock Inter — the spec calls for "Inter Tight for display
  and UI."

## Body / long-form — `Inter`

- Source: `google:Inter`
- Where to assign: Open the typography panel, pick "Inter" from the Google
  Fonts tab, assign to **Body**.
- Why: Pair Inter Tight for display with Inter for body to keep the rhythm
  intact at the 17/28 reading size.

## Mono / figures — `JetBrains Mono`

- Source: `google:JetBrains Mono`
- Where to assign: Open the typography panel, pick "JetBrains Mono" from the
  Google Fonts tab, assign to **Mono**.
- Why: Used for `stat_pair` figures and `case_study_card` metrics. Tabular
  numerals are critical for financial table alignment.

## Quick set-up summary

1. Open **Admin → Typography**.
2. Switch to the **Google Fonts** tab.
3. Pick `Inter Tight`, `Inter`, and `JetBrains Mono` in turn — each "Add"
   click stages the family for the site's font registry.
4. Assign:
   - **Heading** → Inter Tight
   - **Body** → Inter
   - **Mono** → JetBrains Mono
5. Save. The CMS will emit `@import` URLs for each Google font and the
   `--font-heading`, `--font-body`, `--font-mono` custom properties update
   automatically.

## Why no bundled woff2s

Wave-1 implementation policy in `docs/FONTS.md` asks every theme to ship
`fonts.json = []` in this build pass. Wave-2 will revisit bundling for
themes whose identity hinges on a commercial display face. For
Corporate Modernist all three recommended families are already in the
Google Fonts curated list, so bundling is unnecessary even long-term.
