I'm a fan

I think I'm coming around to the headers having that font, but I think the font as a whole needs improvement. It's a bit too narrow (x-axis) for my liking. I'd like us to try out a few other fonts. In general, the serifs are too thin for me, they distract my reading flow. What about trying a Slab Serif font? Has character of serif, but with bolder strokes so less danger of being "too thin" on the edges:

Consensus seems to be broadly in favour of this in principle, so I'll merge it and we can experiment with different fonts.

I'm sceptical that slabs are the answer, it's very rare to see them used for body copy as they're quite fatiguing to read. Much more common to use slabs as a display typeface
