/* ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   TELOP — built on the locked system (Brand Book v0.4) and the elevated
   craft language of the 18.6 profiles. Devices carried over deliberately:
   · kickers at .24em tracking, amber (dark) / amber-text #B07600 (light)
   · headings at 800 — confident, never timid
   · Fraunces italic for editorial and key-idea moments
   · the icon as an oversized watermark at 5–7%
   · 2px structural rules on card tops; amber marks what leads
   · photography: desaturated, navy-graded, amber hairline, coded caption
   · everything straight and level · corners ≤3px · amber ≤5% · sky ≤10%
