  /* Brand typography.
     Headings — Griffon (Dharma Type), served via Adobe Fonts web
       project "cvk2lva", Semibold weight (600).
     Body — Libre Baskerville (Google Fonts), a Baskerville optimized
       for on-screen body text. Adobe Fonts carries only display-weight
       Baskerville cuts, which are unsuitable for paragraph copy, so
       Libre Baskerville is used for body by design — not as a fallback.
     Cormorant Garamond remains as a heading fallback if Adobe fails. */
