# Recommended fonts for Sci-Fi Clean

This theme ships `fonts.json = []` — no woff2 files bundled in this implementation pass.
Add the fonts below from the site admin's Google Fonts picker.

Open **Admin → Settings → Typography**, switch to the **Google Fonts** tab, and assign:

| Slot     | Pick                                  | Source         | Notes                                                   |
|----------|---------------------------------------|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Heading  | `Space Grotesk` (weights 400, 500, 700) | `google:Space Grotesk` | Geometric display face. Spec §3 calls it "the safe ship default" over Eurostile. |
| Body     | `Inter` (weights 400, 500, 600)       | `google:Inter` | Workhorse UI sans. Pairs cleanly with Space Grotesk.    |
| Mono     | `JetBrains Mono` (weights 400, 500)   | `google:JetBrains Mono` | Used for every numeral, identifier, and tabular figure. |

All three are in the curated Google Fonts list; no upload is required.

## CSS fallback stacks

Until the admin assigns fonts, templates fall through to these CSS-variable fallbacks
(declared in the theme's CSS manifest, applied to `:root`):

- `--font-heading` → `"Space Grotesk", "Inter", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif`
- `--font-body` → `"Inter", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif`
- `--font-mono` → `"JetBrains Mono", ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Consolas, monospace`

The fallback stacks intentionally already approximate the intended aesthetic, so the
theme looks right out of the box even before the admin picks Google Fonts.

## Why no bundled woff2s in this pass

Per `themes/docs/FONTS.md` (wave-1 policy): no theme bundles woff2 files in this
implementation pass. Wave-2 may bundle commercial display faces (e.g. Eurostile)
once licensing for `.so` redistribution is sorted; until then, Space Grotesk is
the canonical heading face for Sci-Fi Clean.
