Typeface update

[omnat]

Typeface update (new) - Something @rachelcope and @cjeria have been looking at is updating the app's typeface. We're really keen on Circular and it might be a good place to start introducing it in the DS.

Pair with @rickycodes to test out this font in an extension branch

[cjeria]

@rickycodes here's the font-family we could use to do a test of how it would look!

circularStd - fontfamily.zip

@rickycodes @estebanmino I also received the regular weight version of the font that is not included in the zip above. Their formats are .otf, and the regular font (linked below) is .woff. Which one is best for apps? I could request all to be .woff if that's better?

@cjeria Is this a final call or you want to try it out on the app?

[cjeria]

@estebanmino yes, we'd like to test this new font to make sure nothing looks too weird in the UI before we invest $$$ to buy it.

[estebanmino]

@cjeria should I put this on my to do next thing to work on? since you have IOS and @rickycodes doesn't.

[cjeria]

That would be great @estebanmino!

I believe @rickycodes is able to test the new font in the extension?

[rickycodes]

yep! I can test it in the extension

[cjeria]

Just reviewed new fonts in the extension and it's looking really good. I'm confirming with the font designer which font formats we'd be receiving for the app. The formats Ricky suggested are found in this article in the first syntax block on that page.

During testing, I also discovered pages and sections in the extension that didn't have the new typeface updated. Ricky wants to refactor the web app so that styles cascade properly. Let's make sure we allocate time to refactoring the CSS cc @omnat

I'll set up some time with @rachelcope to preview the new typeface in the extension next.
