Currently blocked by https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/27881 I think

Also useful docs: https://fonts.google.com/knowledge/using_type/loading_variable_fonts_on_the_web

Marking variable fonts as such & loading the right stylesheets should be rather trivial, it's just a question of how to expose variable fonts functionality in the editor.

@davelab6 Does the webfonts/v1/webfonts API endpoint declare whether a font is a variable font or not? At first glance it doesn't look like it.

Looks like we'd have to scrape https://fonts.google.com/variablefonts for now
