New font loading causing slower performance

Ran a lighthouse audit on the site and saw this:

It appears the introduction of the new font was done in a way that introduces a bottleneck before DOM rendering can be completed. It's the second thing to load when looking at the network tab, and it then causes subsequent loads later on of the actual woff2 files

Ideally, we would mark this script as `async` or `defer`, so that it doesn't block rendering of the page. Or, self-host the font in the `_next/static` folder so it's faster to retrieve.

I don't fully understand the usage of this script / api, so I could be wrong, but it should probably be looked into at some point if Lighthouse is flagging it.
