So, 20kB is not that much, honestly (even considering you probably need 4*20=80kB for regular/bold/italic/bold italic). I would just set a suitable caching policy in the server software and leave it at that. Regarding fonts being overused โ unfortunately pretty much all the higher-quality ones from Google Fonts are. If you find another suitable font from Google Fonts, you may not be happy for too long.
(I used to maintain a website at work that delivered 1.5MB of CSS (600kB compressed), consisting of Bootstrap, Bootstrap extras, and then the previous two designs of the website layered on top of each other. That is sad.)
