This website uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure a consistent and appealing display of text and fonts. When you visit a page, your browser automatically loads the necessary web fonts into its cache for proper rendering.

To achieve this, your browser needs to connect to Google’s servers, which allows Google to be informed that our website was accessed through your IP address. We utilize Google web fonts to ensure a consistent and visually appealing presentation of our website.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer.
