<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>Out of the box Mercury loads about 330kb of fonts on the front page of Byte (logged out).</p>
<p>When you're logged into Drupal CMS as an admin, this increases to 900kb of fonts.</p>
<p>One reason for this is that the Navigation bar loads its own variable version of the Inter font, while Mercury loads normal and italic versions.</p>
<p>Given that normal and italic Inter are both loaded by default, I wonder if suing the variable version of the font might be neutral or possibly lighter.</p>
<p>Also don't have a good idea yet, but finding a way to allow Mercury and Navigation to use the same font file when they have the same font requirement seems worth investigating.</p>
