/* ============================================================
   Lowick Hedry — website v1 stylesheet
   Grown from the coming-soon stylesheet; mirrors the tokens in
   01. Design System/colors_and_type.css and adds the full
   multi-section component library for Home / Team / Contact.

   Brand discipline:
   - Buttons rectangular (--r-button: 0). Cards 10px radius.
     Only tag chips are pill-shaped.
   - Two typefaces only: Fraunces (display) + Rethink Sans (UI).
   - Off White is the dominant surface; Anchor Blue dark sections
     use the official dark gradient. Light gradient sections are
     available but applied deliberately. Signal-red is the accent on
     light; Light Yellow is reserved for the dark gradient only.
   - Type-led, editorial, calm. No SaaS rounding, no emoji.
