Body copy
Body text runs at the measure set by --content-width. It carries an inline link, emphasis, strong emphasis, and inline code.
Figures run at the faces' defaults: 4 March 1998, 12 miles, £45. Neither Literata, Archivo nor Bodoni Moda ships onum, smcp or c2sc, so nothing in this theme may assume old-style figures or real small caps. Kickers are Archivo at small size and weight, never synthesised small caps.
