/* LLCbyState — main.css
   Editorial / publication design system. <1.5s LCP target.
   One self-hosted webfont family, Barlow, in four weights (latin subset, ~22 KB each,
   font-display: swap), used for body, UI and headings. System stacks are the fallback.

   Palette philosophy:
     - Warm off-white background (#fafaf7) instead of pure white
     - Warm near-black text (#1c1d23) instead of cold #111827
     - Mauve-grey muted (#5b5d6b) instead of cold #6B7280
     - Deep warm navy primary (#1F3A4D) — distinctive, publication-feel
     - Deep teal secondary (#0D7B73)
     - Bronze accent (#B8895A) — replaces bright amber for warmth
