# Recommended fonts for the Y2K theme

The Y2K theme **bundles** three OFL families as latin-subset woff2 (see
`assets/fonts/LICENSES.md`). They register as `source=template` rows and are
selectable in the typography picker. The theme CSS consumes fonts only through
the host CSS custom properties `--font-heading`, `--font-body`, `--font-mono`,
with fallback stacks that lead with the bundled families — so the intended look
survives before an admin assigns anything.

## Bundled (works out of the box)

| Slot | Family | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heading / display | **Orbitron** (OFL) | Geometric techno face for chrome-stretched headlines. |
| Body | **Inter** (OFL) | Clean neutral body. |
| Mono | **Share Tech Mono** (OFL) | Eyebrows, kickers, tabular data, the webring badge. |

Assign each to its slot in the typography panel (they appear under the bundled /
template source). Until then, the fallback stacks below apply automatically.

## Fallback stacks (declared in `manifest.yaml` CSS)

- Heading: `var(--font-heading, "Orbitron", "Michroma", system-ui, sans-serif)`
- Body: `var(--font-body, "Inter", system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", sans-serif)`
- Mono: `var(--font-mono, "Share Tech Mono", ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, monospace)`

## Alternatives from the Google Fonts tab

- **Michroma** (OFL) — wider techno display; a strong Orbitron alternative for the
  Heading slot. Open the typography panel, Google Fonts tab, search "Michroma",
  Add, assign to Heading.
- **Inter Tight** (OFL) — tighter body option; assign to Body the same way.

The bundled subsets cover English (Latin + Latin-1 punctuation). Sites needing
extended Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, or Vietnamese should assign the full family from
the Google Fonts tab instead of relying on the bundled subset.
