On the other side we have some vocal community members

So what we end up with is a totally inconsistent experience which defeats
the entire purpose of the typography update.
This. We should go back to the community asking for this and get them to
decide on a suitable free font similar to Helvetica since they have brought
us into this discussion. Right now it seems like the camp that is agnostic
about free fonts (myself included) is struggling to find a suitable
alternative which seems unfair. If someone wants to see something happen
they should be prepared to help make that happen.
