This is really beautiful. I love that the images are SVGs as well, makes perfect sense for these line drawings. Though it is a little bit of a bummer that all of them have embedded fonts, even those that don't use text.

Oh iiinteresting I guess we are doing that! Probably not too hard to fix. Thanks for pointing that out!

They used to be just inline svgs (instead of img tags), but (at least a couple years ago) our research suggested using img tags was better for SEO and screen readers and even page load time.

edit: (Of course, when they were just inline svgs, they got the fonts for free from the surrounding webpage).

So far I'm thinking we'll just turn off the embedded fonts for images that don't have text. Definitely not expert on this stuff though--open to other advice!
