Reasoning
Bitter is a strong serif that reads beautifully at display sizes (h1 / h2) but feels heavy and ornamental at body weight. Inter is the workhorse font for reading prose at scale. The earlier attempt left Bitter applied via the global .prose cascade, which beat the in-tree font-family declaration on specificity. The fix was a dedicated .substrate-body class with explicit Inter on every child element.
The compose textarea uses the same Inter face — the writer should see exactly what the reader sees.
