/* ============================================================================
   Kitchen Krafter — Ocean, NJ
   Editorial-luxury design system. Hand-written CSS, no framework, no build step.

   Direction (brand + ui-ux-pro-max informed):
   - Palette is the client's own: charcoal / warm taupe / bone. Gold was the
     skill's suggestion for "Architecture/Interior"; the brand swaps it for a
     warmer taupe, which reads more current ("quiet luxury").
   - Type: Playfair Display (editorial display) + Inter (UI/body) — the skill's
     pairing for luxury/editorial.
   - Luxury = restraint + space. Generous whitespace, thin rules, large type,
     cinematic 16:9 imagery, motion that never bounces.
   - Small taupe TEXT is darkened to meet WCAG; the pale taupe is decoration only.
