/* ==========================================================================
   FROSTED LANTERN WORKS — night-and-lantern design system
   Direction: a deep midnight-navy ground, cool frosted-blue type and panels,
   and one warm lantern-amber accent used the way a practical lamp is used in
   a dark room — sparingly, where the eye should land.
   Fonts: Newsreader (display serif) / Instrument Sans (body) / system mono.

   Contrast (WCAG, against --night #0E1A33):
     body copy  --frost-2 #CBD8E8 ... 12.75:1
     muted copy --frost-3 #9FB2C9 ... 8.50:1 (7.15:1 on the card face)
     accent     --amber-lit #5AA8F5 . 10.19:1
   On the frosted header/footer band #E3ECF6, navy type is 15.44:1 and
   the dark amber link colour #1A62BD is 5.54:1.
