Consider making use of the system font stack #19

The Roboto font currently in use on the site is not essential to the design, and the speed-up in choosing a system-font is most likely more valuable than being able to choose Roboto specifically. Not to mention the fact that users might feel more at home with the system font.

Also, I remember wanting to choose Helvetica, but chose Roboto as the most similar open-source alternative. I think I chose Roboto universally to have a consistent "brand" across devices, but when the font isn't more pronounced, I don't think it's worth it.
