next/font/google not working after upgrading to latest next.js (16.0.3) | Next.js | Page 1

I upgraded my project from Next.js 15 to Next.js 16 today, now the font loader causes compilation error:

## Error Type
Build Error

## Error Message
Ecmascript file had an error

## Build Output
./frontend/src/styles/fonts.ts:69:1

Font loader calls must be assigned to a const

Import traces:
  Browser:
    ./frontend/src/styles/fonts.ts
    ./frontend/src/pages/_app.tsx

  SSR:
    ./frontend/src/styles/fonts.ts
    ./frontend/src/pages/_app.tsx

Next.js version: 16.0.3 (Turbopack)

I have tried to reproduce this on a fresh project with the exact same structure, and could not. I have debugged this every which way I can think and cannot figure this out. It's directly tied to Turbopack, as using --webpack during next dev does resolve the issue. Our app is just incredibly slow with webpack (we've been on turbo for almost 2 years with no issues).
