== Proposal
update the font-stack for wikimedia style guide which gives preference to system typeface
Apple and Google both have better typeface alternatives available. [1][2]
They have better readability on screens and they have better language support.
This will deliver better native experience for readers. [3]
Proposed stack (see discussion for other links/suggestions)
```
-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, “Segoe UI”, Roboto, Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
```
This is the semantic order of things -
User device preferred > Wikimedia Design preferred > Helvetica > Arial > Generic

[2] a https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto
[2] b https://material.io/guidelines/style/typography.html
