/* ==========================================================================
   dwetapatel.com — Design system
   Concept: "Vermilion Archive"

   An Indian editorial-archive language. Blush-stone paper and deep plum ink,
   a kumkum-rose signal and a jade secondary. The structural motif is the
   ARCH (jharokha) — a curved plate that sits BEHIND each photograph so the
   image itself is never masked, never cropped and never loses a face.
   Display type is a didone (Bodoni Moda); reading type is Spectral; every
   label, index and item of metadata is Space Grotesk.

   Deliberately unlike the chalk/bone-ground, hairline-rule, zero-radius
   systems used elsewhere: dark-dominant bands, curved plates, a centred
   display axis, and heavy 2px rules rather than hairlines.
