   Typefaces — self-hosted, not loaded from a CDN.
   Space Grotesk (display) and Manrope (text), both SIL Open Font License 1.1;
   the licences ship alongside the files in assets/fonts/.

   They are served from our own origin for three reasons: the Content-Security-
   Policy is font-src 'self', so a Google Fonts request would simply be blocked;
   self-hosting keeps visitor IP addresses from reaching a third party; and it
   removes a DNS lookup and connection from the critical path.

   Both are variable fonts, so one file per subset covers every weight used.
