In tinythemes: Lightweight Repackaging of 'Themes' for 'ggplot2'

#' A precise & pristine \link[ggplot2]{ggplot2} theme with opinionated defaults and an
#' emphasis on typography
#'
#' You should consult the documentation of the \link[hrbrthemes]{hrbrthemes} package if
#' the font does not load properly. There is an option `hrbrthemes.loadfonts` which -- if
#' set to `TRUE` -- will call `extrafont::loadfonts()` to register non-core fonts with R
#' PDF & PostScript devices. If you are running under Windows, the package calls the same
#' function to register non-core fonts with the Windows graphics device.

#' @md
#' @section Why Roboto Condensed?:
#' It is free, has tolerable kerning pairs and multiple weights. It is also different
#' than Arial Narrow and the fonts most folks use in ggplot2 charts.
#'
#' @md
#' @param base_family,base_size base font family and size
#' @param plot_title_family,plot_title_face,plot_title_size,plot_title_margin plot title family, face, size and margin
#' @param subtitle_family,subtitle_face,subtitle_size plot subtitle family, face and size
#' @param subtitle_margin plot subtitle margin bottom (single numeric value)
#' @param strip_text_family,strip_text_face,strip_text_size facet label font family, face and size
#' @param caption_family,caption_face,caption_size,caption_margin plot caption family, face, size and margin
#' @param axis_title_family,axis_title_face,axis_title_size axis title font family, face and size
#' @param axis_title_just axis title font justification one of `[blmcrt]`
#' @param axis_text_size font size of axis text
#' @param plot_margin plot margin (specify with \link[ggplot2]{margin})
#' @param panel_spacing panel spacing (use `unit()`)
#' @param grid_col grid color
#' @param grid panel grid (`TRUE`, `FALSE`, or a combination of `X`, `x`, `Y`, `y`)
#' @param axis_col axis color
#' @param axis add x or y axes? `TRUE`, `FALSE`, "`xy`"
#' @param ticks ticks if `TRUE` add ticks
#' @return A \link[ggplot2]{ggplot2}-compatible 'theme' data structure is returned for use in standard
#' \link[ggplot2]{ggplot2} usage.
