console: Geist — a crisp, modern enterprise typeface

Zurich Sans (a soft humanist OTF) read poorly at the data-density sizes this
console runs, and did not carry the modern-enterprise register we are after.
The UI moves to Geist — Vercel's typeface, the register of Linear/Vercel-class
tools: neutral, technical, and sharp at small sizes. Refs and figures use Geist
Mono. Zurich Sans stays in the fallback stack, so a blocked CDN degrades to the
brand face rather than to a system default.
