By default, web captions use a sans-serif font (which is industry standard).
::cue{font:inherit} will allow captions to inherit the default base font settings instead, normalizing the typeface to expected brand readability defaults.

Need to do more exploration here. Only Firefox respects this. MacOS Safari & Chromium ignore 'inherit'.

The only way to make this uniform is to set ::cue to a specific font value, which probably should be set along with :root. This will need to be a manual dev/designer choice.

All browsers besides Firefox break the spec and ignore 'inherit'.
