One font. Gotham Light. Font sizes done.

@colshacol Gotham has a lot of different style weights that can be useful for information hierarchy on the final site. For example, bolding headlines, or whatever. I would just stay open to different styles other than light.

Haha, I am aware of the versatility. I was very tired when I submitted this to review. I should probably take it back and complete it. -_- I don't remember what was going through my head, but I remember looking at the CSS I had to perform to pull in Gotham Light and saying something like "Eh... I'll pass on any extra work tonight."

Responsible? Nah. Honest enough with myself to look at this now and admit I need to go back and do what I promised? Absolutely.

Pulling back out of review.

Alright. Dylan and I brought in Gotham Light, Medium, Bold, and Thin. :) I think we're calling it for the night, but you may all rest easy knowing that we have more than one font!

Great! I recommend considering this done for now.

I want note that there may be an opportunity later down the line to consider a secondary type. A lot of websites I notice have two different styles to break up things. This website has good examples of how that can look nice: http://typespiration.com/ So right now we have a clean serif font. It can look pretty good if it is paired with a serif font, or a headline font with a little more personality. check out some of these font combinations that show what other fonts can be paired with another font: http://typespiration.com/design/the-main-floor/ http://typespiration.com/design/sunrise/ (both serif but the top one is condensed and different that way)

But that's just to get yall thinking for potential. I don't think we have enough to work with right now content-wise and front-end wise to know if a secondary font will be applicable.
