The current one screams 1987 - there are some really nice ones on e.g. https://open-foundry.com/.

Do folks have preferences whether we include a file in the repo, or get them through a CDN?

as much love as i have for system default font, hell ya. i'd prefer to vendor them as .woff/.woff2 vs. a CDN :). i'll come help with styles after i get the basic stuff working!

I can just select one for starters and implement the code, then we can just change it afterwards. BTW, is there an easy way to use parameters with CSS, or do we SCSS - and in that case, do you happen to know how we convert SCSS to CSS? Would be great to have a something like a parameters.css where we could specify e.g. $primary_font: "Times" or primary_color: teal and then use those throughout the site. I do that in Jekyll, but I'm not sure where the SCSS magically convert to CSS.

vanilla css has variables :)

:root {
  --font-body: "Papyrus";
}

span {
  font-family: var(--font-body);
}

if you want sass/scss tho we can definitely do that, i'm sure there's some sass middleware lying around here somewhere

I image so few variables that vanilla will probably do just fine then - no need to complicate things further. :P
