  --font-body: 'Inter', sans-serif;
}

2. Global CSS Rules

/* All elements inherit body font */
*, html, body {
  font-family: var(--font-body, ...fallbacks);
}

/* All headings use heading font */
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  font-family: var(--font-heading, ...fallbacks) !important;
}

3. Chakra UI Theme

theme: {
  fonts: {
    heading: 'var(--font-heading, ...)',
    body: 'var(--font-body, ...)'
  }
}

4. Component-Specific Overrides

Admin components have additional font rules to ensure consistency in the admin panel.

make migrate-up

goose -dir database/migrations postgres "connection-string" up

  • global-enhancements.css: ~15KB
  • Total overhead: ~40KB (minified and gzipped: ~8KB)
