Type

Matter at two weights, Arial at one, and a Minor Third scale from a 15px base.

One custom display face does the work. Matter runs at weight 500 for all headings and oversized kinetic text, and at weight 400 for body and UI copy, with aggressive negative tracking at large sizes and wide positive tracking on uppercase labels.
