On self-hosting the fonts
The fonts here are bundled with the site, not loaded from a third party at runtime. Two reasons.
First, the build stays hermetic. It produces the same bytes whether or not some font CDN is reachable, which matters when the whole point is a featherweight static image that deploys the same way every time.
Second, it fits the feel. A confidential-feeling field that quietly fetches your type from someone else’s server is a small contradiction. Keep it local.
