    Hi @wordsbywildflower ,

    If I have read the source code correctly, this is the fon-family of the Modern Business theme.
    "IBM Plex Sans",-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI","Roboto","Oxygen","Ubuntu","Cantarell","Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif

    To the best of my knowledge, what this theme has done is it hasn’t used custom fonts, but rather is set to try to use the font used by the browser/operating system the user is viewing the site with. By calling for these fonts in this order, the theme is searching for the local font located in the user’s device. This should result in less loading times. By using the same font as what the user is seeing elsewhere (i.e. in the browser, in the OS), it provides a seamless and hopefully “natural” experience for the viewer.
    Reference: https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css/issues/665

    I tried applying the theme to my test site and noticed the “Fonts” item is missing from the Customizer. I’m guessing it is intentional. They have created the theme for optimal loading times, and so Custom Fonts would undermine that.

    I hope this info helps you. All the best!

    To all those who see this post: I hope I’ve got this right, but if I haven’t, feel free to correct me. :)
