/* ============================================================
   Imperial College of Engineering — shared site styles
   One consolidated system (replaces the three stacked layers).

   Direction: "drafting film over the blueprint."
   Deep-navy blueprint fields (header, heroes, stats, contact,
   footer) carry frosted glass panels — the vellum. Between them,
   a quiet paper document. Serif display for institution, sans for
   utility. Crimson is reserved for calls to action and live
   announcements; terracotta carries eyebrows, icons, and accents.

   Motion lives in js/motion.js (GSAP). CSS only handles hover
   micro-interactions and the reduced-motion fallback. Nothing is
   hidden by CSS — a page without JS is fully readable.
   ============================================================ */
