Description
The setup of hsl-map-style use a fontstack.zip file that is encrypted (probably due to use of Gotham font from adobe).
Although I could understand custom deployments to want to style their maps ina particular way, this distribution requires always some changes to have it working.
I got it working with Open Sans pbf that I got from https://github.com/lukasmartinelli/glfonts .
Would suggest that book could be changed for Open Sans Regular and Gotham Book by Gotham Light.. Works nicely.

Research direction
Inspect the hsl-map-style setup and the encrypted fontstack.zip reference first. Compare the current Gotham font setup with the suggested Open Sans PBF source at github.com/lukasmartinelli/glfonts. Done means the distribution no longer requires proprietary font changes and the map style works with the replacement fonts.
