Global Styles Typography

Typography (from #34574.)

Fonts

Managing fonts as site assets still needs a more formal proposal but broadly speaking the design would incorporate a recognizable small preview. This is the corollary to the palette management interface. These sets would be extensible and configurable, ranging from a single default set (current state) to multiple choices.

With support for additional pairings and browsing the UI would evolve to accommodate it. There's a larger surface of issues to work through and figure out when it comes to themes switching and the ability to combine sets from different themes or styles.

An interface for selecting font families is still upcoming as there are quite a few details to get right, including communicating potential performance impact of multiple fonts.
