Exploratory type swap so yolk can read Martian Grotesk on real Nomad planner pages. Do not merge.

Font

  • Source: https://github.com/evilmartians/grotesk (SIL OFL 1.1)
  • Vendored static TTFs only (no variable wdth/wght at draw time):
    • src/parch/fonts/martian-grotesk/MartianGrotesk-Regular.ttf
    • src/parch/fonts/martian-grotesk/MartianGrotesk-Bold.ttf
    • src/parch/fonts/martian-grotesk/OFL.txt
    • src/parch/fonts/martian-grotesk/AUTHORS.txt

Liberation Sans Regular/Bold were removed. Fpdf2Plotter still registers SANS/SERIF the same way; only the sans file paths changed.

Pairing

Martian Grotesk is a sans family with no serif companion.

  • face="sans" (UI copy, nav, chips, calendar figures): Martian Grotesk Regular + Bold
  • face="serif" (cover year, “Year Book”, section titles): Liberation Serif Regular + Bold, unchanged

No PageKind or layout geometry changes.

Specimens

January 2026 slice (110 pages, not the full year). Press: artifacts/mvp/exp-font-martian-grotesk.pdf. Embedded fonts: MartianGrotesk, MartianGroteskBold, LiberationSerif, LiberationSerifBold. PNGs at 150 PPI:
