- Defines Cash Sans Bold (700 weight) via @font-face, completing the set of Regular, Medium, and Bold weights for Cash Sans. - Applies global font smoothing (`-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased`) and legibility optimizations (`text-rendering: optimizeLegibility`) to the body element for crisper, clearer text presentation.

Problem
Previously, text (especially bolded text) could appear blurry. Goose told me that was likely due to a combination of default rendering settings and the potential for “faux bolding” when a true bold font weight was not available.
Changes Implemented
Added
@font-facefor Cash Sans BoldCashSans-Bold.woffandCashSans-Bold.woff2font files. This makes a true bold variant of the Cash Sans font family available to Goose.app.Enhanced Global Text Rendering
bodyelement inmain.css:-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;: Improves font sharpness and clarity on macOS by enabling grayscale antialiasing.text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;: Instructs the browser to prioritize legibility, enabling features like kerning and ligatures for a more refined text appearance.All text should now look crisper and easier to read, especially bold text.
Open Question
What combination of these settings do Goose designers prefer? I’ve added both, but we could instead take either one (or neither and close the PR). See Demos for combinations.

Choices
original: no -Bold and NOT antialiased
CashSans-Bold antialiased 👈🏼 This is what I’m proposing.
antialiased, no -Bold
CashSans-Bold NOT antialiased
