/* Qubinter v6 — site design language.
 *
 * Loaded on every public page after site-v4.css and before page stylesheets.
 * The language follows scale.com: a white page, large regular-weight headings,
 * rounded grey panels that hold one idea each, a steel-blue statement card, a
 * deep feature card, dark sections for emphasis and a black footer that ends on
 * one large line. Colours come from the brand kit (Brand Kit/README.md): Ink,
 * Steel and Slate carry the surfaces, Copper is only ever a small mark.
 * Type is Vazirmatn throughout.
