System fallback fonts page mapping Freight Text Pro to Georgia and Matter to Arial, with full character-set specimens for each.

Summary

The system-font fallback page: with no access to brand or Google fonts, Freight Text Pro is swapped for Georgia and Matter for Arial, each shown as a full specimen.

Visual description

Two-column layout identical to the Google fallback page. Left: teal eyebrow "TYPOGRAPHY", serif heading "Fallback Fonts: System" over two rows, an intro paragraph, then two labeled substitution rules (Freight Text Pro to Georgia; Matter to Arial). Right: four stacked specimen rows, each with a small all-caps name and P/S role tag on the left and a large Aa Bb Cc... character set on the right: Georgia Regular, Georgia Regular Italic, Arial Regular, and Arial Bold. Hairline rules separate the rows. "Brand Guidelines" label and spark mark on the left edge.

Key takeaway

Completing the fallback ladder with universally available system fonts, so the brand degrades gracefully even with zero font access. The same swap-and-specimen template carried across both fallback pages keeps the rule easy to follow.

Reuse notes

The lowest tier of the font-fallback system, paired with the Google page (slide 50). Reusable for any brand that needs a guaranteed-available substitute set. Georgia and Arial are safe defaults; swap for the closest metrics to your real fonts.
