/* ==========================================================================
   Career Next — Editorial-Energetic Design System
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Aesthetic direction: print-editorial confidence meets youth energy.
   Distinctive typography (Fraunces variable serif + Geist sans) replaces the
   default sans-on-white. Brand purple becomes structural ink; orange is the
   accent — used with intent rather than ambient glow. Hard offset shadows
   echo screen-print posters. The star from the brand logo recurs as
   typographic punctuation.

   Avoiding the AI-default look: no soft purple-on-white blob blurs, no
   pastel gradient meshes, no rounded glass cards.
