Title:
  Use document font

Status in Birdie:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Currently, it looks like Birdie uses the default platform UI font. On
  elementary, this is Droid Sans. While this is fine for normal UI
  elements (buttons, menus, etc.) with shorter text, it's not the best
  for longer messages like tweets. Additionally, it doesn't have
  multiple weights to play with nor does it have a true italic.

  Instead, we should either use the platform ocument font (Open Sans on
  elementary), or something a little prettier. The new Twitter app on
  Android actually uses a much lighter weight typeface which looks super
  slick, so perhaps we could look into that.
