/* =============================================================
   JJD-Build v11.0 | johndegaetano.com
   "FOUNDRY" — editorial-industrial 2026
   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   Design DNA:
   - Warm ink charcoal canvas, cream paper text, brass-gold accent.
   - Fraunces (high-contrast serif display) + Space Grotesk (UI)
     + JetBrains Mono (labels / numerals).
   - Asymmetric editorial grids, bento compositions, oversized index
     numerals, marquee dividers, horizontal proof strip, grain texture.
   - Radically different from v10.5 (light SaaS) — dark, tactile,
     editorial, award-caliber.
   Same content, copy, and images — completely new presentation.
