/* Charles IT — site styles.
   Layout and look follow the SofTeck template (rounded cards, dark rounded panels, big headings with an
   italic serif accent, pill buttons with a round arrow), in the Charles IT colours below.
   Content blocks keep the class names of the old WordPress theme (hero-block, metrics-block, …),
   so text, images and links are exactly as on charlesit.com. Change colours here in :root. */
