Description

Demo'ing iOS looks on an Android device with the gallery looks weird currently due to typography. Figure out a way to bundle a SF or SF-like font so Android can display something nicer.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the Flutter documentation on using custom fonts (https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/design/fonts). Look at the gallery's current font configuration in the theme and pubspec.yaml to understand how fonts are currently loaded. Consider using an open source alternative like 'Inter' or 'Roboto' that closely mimics SF. Also review the issue comments for any previous attempts or suggestions from maintainers. Ensure the font license allows redistribution.
