The UKCEH brand guidelines state that Lato and Montserrat, which are the two 'official' UKCEH fonts, "are Google typefaces".

In fact neither were created by Google, and while they are distributed via Google Fonts they can also be sourced from alternative repositories such as Bunny Fonts.

It also turns out that Google Fonts can lead to GDPR violations since it collects the IP addresses of visitors to web-pages running Google Fonts. Meanwhile Bunny Fonts does not collect any user data.

Switching from Google to Bunny in _brand.yml is completely trivial:

typography:
  fonts:
-   - source: google
+   - source: bunny
      family: Lato

However, currently Bunny Fonts do not work when the output format is a Typst pdf. Thus, I am leaving Google Fonts in until either this issue is solved or people start using these templates more widely.
