     - Pure ink (#0a0a0a) canvas + slow drifting red ember mist
     - Fraunces italic display, IBM Plex Sans body, JetBrains Mono caps eyebrows
     - Red accent (#c8102e) only — eyebrow rules, italic emphasis, hover halos
     - Section grid: max-width 1280px, 32px gutters, 96px+ vertical padding
     - .has-video sections wrap a Sora atmospheric loop + 0.55→0.88 ink overlay
