/* R3: heading serif is Source Serif 4. Fraunces was dropped because its display-size J and F
   read as squiggly to the client, and the SOFT/WONK axes Google serves do not exist in the
   subsetted file, so the old pinning rule was a no-op. opsz is held at a text-like value so
   headings stay sober rather than turning display-y as they scale. */
