/* =============================================================================
   Substrate — "Dusk Ledger"
   Built as if the useportal.net team had taken Substrate as a client.

   The Portal grammar being carried over, deliberately:
     · a painted world at both ends, an almost empty page in between
     · one narrow centred column of type; only pictures may break it
     · a high-contrast editorial serif set at line-height 1.00, sentence case,
       nowhere any uppercase or letterspaced label
     · one enormous jump in the type scale (58 / 40 → 19) and nothing between
     · every physical object sits 1–4° off true
     · the button recipe: 50px radius, inset top light-catch, hairline ring,
       short drop shadow — and hover BRIGHTENS, it never lifts
     · dotted hairline separators exactly as wide as the text column
     · rotate-and-settle entrances instead of fade-up
