/*
* GAPi Design System — gapi-ds.css
* Source of truth: brand/gapi-design-system.md (Skippy-ratified 2026-06-19)
* Proof-of-concept: website/demos/meridian-marine/index.html
* Builder: GAPI — F0 (foundation layer, prerequisite for all brand pages)
*
* FONT LOADING APPROACH
* ─────────────────────
* ALL fonts are self-hosted woff2 — no Google Fonts dependency.
* Consuming pages must add a for Fraunces in
* (before the DS stylesheet) to prevent FOUT on display headlines.
*
* Fraunces → self-hosted woff2 (css/fonts/fraunces-latin.woff2)
* Geist → self-hosted woff2 (css/fonts/geist-latin.woff2) — metric-matched fallback: Inter
* JetBrains Mono → self-hosted woff2 (css/fonts/jetbrains-mono-latin.woff2)
* Inter → self-hosted woff2 (css/fonts/inter-latin.woff2) — Geist fallback only
*
* NOTE: geist-latin.woff2 is self-hosted at css/fonts/geist-latin.woff2
* (Geist[wght].woff2 variable font, v1.7.2, OFL — placed 2026-06-19).
* No Google Fonts request is made in either case — self-host or fallback only.
