Font Pro is an excellent stack (built by Andrew Tavernor, even though the stack is marketed by Joe Workman). What this stack does, it does the best. However, Font Pro is limited to 8 instances of fonts and styles. That's why Font Pro will remain my general font manager and Source's 'Custom Fonts' will be used only to supplement the former when needed.
* All headers are always rendered in 'bold' weight – default setting in Source.
* All styles on this page are 'Base Style (Source)' – which means no custom styles are applied here.
* On this page, I don't use any partials, because I will have to rebuild them from scratch – in tune with new Source defaults, Font Pro styles and CONTAINER margins/paddings. Partials are on a separate page.
Sizes and line hight are set as defaults in Source. These two metrics should be used throughout the website without a need for altering in individual text stacks, therefore, they are suitable for creating partials and externals. These metrics are fine-tuned to my particular taste. In specific circumstances, though, they may and should be adjusted – for example in the 'Small Print' style.
Proposed localization and hierarchy sample on server:
/public_html/warefonts1/notosans/22-notosans-bold_italic.woff2
Fonts from different foundries use different naming schemes. In order to introduce some order and uniformity, I am attempting to normalize the font naming scheme. That includes: the prefix-number assigned to specific font-weight, hyphen/underscore order and wording.
Headers – Always bold (Source default), always 'accent color'.
Paragraphs – The default (normal) size is: 1.5rem (small) and 2.0rem (medium+). The default line hight is: 1.6rem (16px) – Source defaults.

This is what the simple quote in Markdown stack looks like.
