Agreed at higher-level design+leadership, EMBL and EMBL-EBI are moving to a new typeface: Plex. I won't get into the background on that here, but it has been discussed at length. (if needed, I'm sure I can find links)
That new font will be the default for VF 2.0, however what we've yet to iron out is:
I think No. 2 isn't a near-term thing (and may never happen), so I think we can stick to No. 1.
Currently the "best" approach I have in mind is to create a new optional Sass file + standalone CSS file that can be included in a build process or HTML document.
To illustrate:
some-repo/theme__new-type-for-embl-ebi.css
helvetica -> plex
Final question is where would this new code live?
And then we'd need to go through and update various templates and documentation to reference the new approach.
