# Recommended fonts — Terminal theme

This theme ships `fonts.json = []` per the wave-1 implementation policy in `docs/FONTS.md`. The intended typography is **all monospace, no exceptions**. The CSS fallback chain ends in `monospace` so the theme remains legible before an admin picks fonts; the recommendations below match the spec's intended look.

Fonts are admin-configured through the typography panel. Open the Google Fonts tab of the picker, add each family, then assign it to the appropriate slot.

## Heading & mono — JetBrains Mono

- **Source recommendation:** `google:JetBrains Mono`
- **Slots:** Heading, Mono
- **How:** Open the typography panel → Google Fonts tab → search "JetBrains Mono" → click Add. Assign it to the **Heading** slot and the **Mono** slot.

## Body — IBM Plex Mono

- **Source recommendation:** `google:IBM Plex Mono`
- **Slot:** Body
- **How:** Open the typography panel → Google Fonts tab → search "IBM Plex Mono" → click Add. Assign it to the **Body** slot.

## Fallback chain (already in theme CSS)

If the admin has not yet picked fonts, the theme degrades through:

```
"JetBrains Mono", "IBM Plex Mono", ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Consolas, monospace
```

This keeps the all-monospace aesthetic intact even without any admin font selection.

## Wave-2 follow-up

Bundling JetBrains Mono and IBM Plex Mono `.woff2` files (both OFL-licensed) is deferred to wave-2 along with the `LICENSES.md` entry. In this pass, fonts are admin-side via the Google Fonts picker.
