The Typography Guide suggest this

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@300;400;500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

Isn't that violating the GDPR according to ... German Court Rules Websites Embedding Google Fonts Violates GDPR

Maybe we should add an information or bundle fonts with the app and serve it locally. What do you think ?

Might be worth referencing the Angular build optimization config, for inlining fonts:

The Angular CLI inlines the font face definition, but you'd still need to fetch the font from a Google CDN. You can check how to use self-hosted font definition here.
