Descrição
### Which @angular/* package(s) are relevant/related to the feature request?
@angular/core and @angular/cli
### Problems :
- Using custom fonts from **Google Fonts** can significantly impact FCP, LCP and initial load performance in Angular applications.
- Downloading fonts from Google servers adds **extra HTTP requests** and **latency**, slowing down initial paint times.
- The **font swapping** has the potential to cause layout shifts and so impact Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
### Proposed Solution :
- Introduce a **built-in** **mechanism** in Angular to **automatically downloads fonts** specified by their Google Fonts names (or similar identifiers) during the build process and **self-host fonts** within the application, eliminating the need for external font services like Google Fonts.
- Utilize **preconnect**, **preload**, and **size-adjust** for optimal performance and seamless font rendering.
### Benefits :
- **Improved Performance:** Reduces reliance on external requests, minimizes layout shifts (thanks to the underlying CSS size-adjust) , and enables efficient caching.
- **Improved FCP and LCP:** Optimized fonts and proactive loading strategies contribute to significantly faster loading times and smoother user experiences.
- **Enhanced SEO:** Better Core Web Vitals can lead to higher search engine ranking and increased website traffic.
- **Enhanced Security:** Minimizes exposure to external vulnerabilities and provides more control over font sources.
- **Developer Experience:** Built-in font optimization in Angular improves developer experience.
### Alternatives considered
Anyone interested is welcome to comment on what the proposed syntax and feature set will be.

Guia de contribuição
Direção de pesquisa
Comece revisando as áreas de @angular/core e @angular/cli envolvidas no tratamento de fontes durante o build e compare o comportamento proposto com Next.js next/font. Defina os identificadores de fontes compatíveis, o fluxo de download e self-hosting durante o build e o comportamento de preconnect, preload e size-adjust antes da implementação. Considera-se concluído quando o recurso funcionar para Google Fonts e melhorar os objetivos declarados de carregamento e deslocamento de layout.
