/* ===========================================================================
   Online Casino AUS - zisize.org
   Direction: "Basalt & Flare". A cool ink-graphite masthead against ONE warm
   accent, set in condensed Antonio over Work Sans. Decorative signature is
   THE REEDING: a band of vertical 2px accent lines at 6px pitch, repeated
   above every section head, across the footer's opening edge, down the
   verdict quote and through every podium card.
   Shape rule: cards 3px, plates and controls 2px. Nothing is rounded.
   Hero archetype: the broken keyline. Foreground object: the tipping scale.
