Let's finally change the large fonts to Recoletta to match the web. The web uses it consistently across all the new designs. It will go a long way to make the app feel more like part of the product family, and we don't have many other options since we are sticking with native controls. The serifs also make these screens appear a bit more sophisticated, which I assume is what we might want to go for.

Is Reader/Discover/Recent the only place these are used?

The other place is site title on home page on iPad.

There are also a couple of places in the app that already use serifs like "Search Domains". Here's the screenshot from production. These newer screens have been using serifs since inception.
