/* ---- FONTS ----
Display font: Caveat (Google Fonts) — a handwriting font used as the
display face today. When your custom "Dan Handwriting" font is ready,
uncomment the @font-face blocks below, drop the files in /assets/fonts/,
and it'll take over automatically without any other code changes.
UI font: JetBrains Mono (typewriter/lab-label voice).
Body font: DM Sans (for long-form reading in product copy).
All three are loaded via in each HTML .
