/* Understanding Aging — site stylesheet.
 *
 * Direction: warm, calm and editorial. Heather plum and oat, with deep peat text,
 * a characterful serif (Fraunces) for headings and Atkinson Hyperlegible for body
 * text. Type is deliberately large (19px body, generous leading) and every text
 * colour below meets WCAG AA against the background it is used on:
 *   peat  #2b2420 on oat   #f7f1e7  ~ 14:1
 *   muted #5c5049 on oat            ~ 7:1
 *   plum  #4a2240 on oat            ~ 11:1
 *   link  #6b2f5c on cream #fffaf3  ~ 8.9:1
 *   ochre #8a4b0f on cream          ~ 6.4:1
 *   oat   #f3e9da on peat           ~ 13:1  (footer)
 * The mark (partials/brand-mark) and tools/brand/make-logo.py share these tokens.
