Details

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.

Why IBM Plex Sans?

It's free, has tolerable kerning pairs and multiple weights. It's also different "not Helvetica".
