/* ============================================================
MITCHELL LANGLEY, site.css
One stylesheet for every page: home, resume, case studies,
writing and photographs.
SOURCE OF TRUTH
Built on the Mitchell Langley Asesorías design system
(claude.ai/design, project 22dc858d). Tokens in section 2 are
copied from its tokens/*.css; do not invent new hues here.
- One navy family carries the brand: #1D3F5C, hover #3D6485.
- Green #1E8449 is reserved for the single most important
action on a page (here: email). Never decorative.
- Surfaces are white, alternating with #F4F6F8. Separation
comes from background change and soft shadow; hairline
#D8DCE0 rules only where a divider is needed.
- Source Serif 4 for headings and the wordmark,
Source Sans 3 for everything else.
- One ease-out curve, four durations, one focal moment per
page load. No bounce, no loops.
FONTS
Loaded by the Google Fonts link in every :
Source Serif 4 400/600/700, Source Sans 3 400/600/700.
Keep weights in this file to that set.
ROUTE CLASSES
.route-work/.route-cases/.route-writing/.route-gallery remain
in the markup but no longer change colour: the system has one
brand colour, not a colour per section.
