So what are the first two fonts? That's frustrating they're not named.

Helpful hint: you can check out all of the page's css using the inspector. For this case you can see that what font-family is declared, and then reference it on google. Using this technique you can add styles on the fly to your sites and check them out as you are designing.

The display face is Abril Fatface and the body is set in Open Sans.

Maybe you could put that in the github repo?

(Or maybe I could, I know, I know ...)

Mouseover the text and the tooltip shows the font name.
