I am using Kadence theme and Kadence Blocks. I have Kadence theme set to use the system font stack (san Francisco for mac, segoe for windows, etc). I know the system font feature is still relatively new for the Kadence theme, but it seems like Kadence Blocks aren’t integrated with the Kadence theme on this issue. Here’s the problem:

1. There is no way to select “system font” from the font family selector for any of the blocks. The first option is Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif. In order to use system fonts with Kadence theme you just have to leave this box blank. I think this causes issue 2.

2. Without a specific font selected, the only font weights available are normal and bold. I think that most system fonts support more weights than just those two.

I feel like if we have the Kadence theme activated then there should be an option to use system fonts on the Kadence Blocks.

Thanks Ben and Hannah for all your work!
