I started by looking at HuffPost which uses ProximaNova - not available on Google Fonts.

The closest in style I think is Montserrat, but I don't like the kerning. The letters are too close together and it looks all bunchy. . . HuffPo and BuzzFeed both use Proxima Nova, and since this is a parody site, I wonder if we can find something that looks more parody..-y... ? Also, perhaps it would be fun to use a different font for each type. But maybe that's too much.

Somehow with some bad git action, i seem to have confused github here. I'm going to open another PR.
