The Inter var font was loaded with font-display: swap, causing a flash of unstyled text (wrong font) on page load, especially on the homepage. Changes: - Preload the main Inter latin roman woff2 file - Override font-display to 'optional' for the primary latin subset, which eliminates the swap flash (uses fallback silently if font isn't cached, then caches for next load)

The Inter var font was loaded with
font-display: swap, causing a visible flash of the wrong font on page load — especially noticeable on the homepage.Fix:
font-displaytooptionalfor the primary latin subset — this eliminates the swap flash entirely (if the font isn't cached yet, it uses the system fallback without swapping, then caches for subsequent loads)After the first visit, the font is cached and loads instantly with no flash.
