If we use Google Fonts for slide decks and documents, it's handy, online, and all the rest.

But the display font we have historically used, Miso, is not available.

So ideally we'd want a fontstack with more graceful fallbacks.

Here's Miso:

Options I've found

Barlow Condensed, is one, and available on Google

Alternatively Dosis Medium is an option too:

These are recommendations from this question on Quora: Which font in the Google Font library looks most similar to miso?

What we need to do

We need to compile a font stack, with a series of typefaces we might us online and have a consistent look and feel, if in cases where we can't always use the real licensed typeface.

The ideal artefact for anyone working on this issue would be a html page with specimens of these, with the reasoning given. Even better would be a sensible type scale, so we only have a small set of possible sizes to use in designs.
