Editorial Mono · round 2
Vault, Profile & the headline font
Two more surfaces in the locked Editorial Mono language, plus the one open call: which serif does the headline work. Same warm-paper / ink / violet-accent system as the Home & Map screens.
Pick the serif that says "Nabe"
The headline face is the single biggest lever. All three are real, free Google fonts and pair with Inter for body. Same headline shown in each.

Where to actually do laundry in Greenpoint.
Warm, modern, characterful. Soft serifs + a little "wonk" feel human and neighborly without being stuffy — editorial but friendly. Best fit for a community app.

Classic newspaper. Neutral, trustworthy, very legible. Safest choice — but reads more "newspaper" than "neighborhood," slightly less distinctive.
Instrument Serif

Elegant, high-contrast. Fashion-magazine feel. Beautiful, but more delicate/upscale — can feel less "everyday neighborhood," better for a luxury brand.
