/* ============================================================ BEYOND STEPPE DESIGN SYSTEM ============================================================ Palette : bg #0E0B08 (near-black) / text #F0E8D8 (parchment) accent #C8922A (gold), used sparingly, never as a large fill. Fertility & Surrogacy pages swap the accent to terracotta (#B4684C) via [data-theme="fertility"] on , everything else stays identical. Type : Cormorant Garamond (headings, serif/editorial) + Work Sans (body/UI, sans). Modular scale ~1.25. Spacing : 4px base unit, tokens 4→128. Layout : mobile-first, max content width 1200px, 720px reading column for long-form text (blog, story). Elevation : no drop shadows on dark bg; elevation comes from background contrast (bg vs bg-raised) + hairline borders instead. ============================================================ */ /* ---------- Fonts (self-hosted, no third-party request) ---------- */ @font-face { font-family: "Cormorant Garamond";
