/* =========================================================================
   PRACTICE LIBRARY — Brand-aligned design system, editorial accents.

   Same chrome as /pricing/, /ielts/, /pte/: white background, primary
   blue (#4890AE) accent, sky-blue (#87CEEB) CTAs, deep navy (#1a2744)
   footer, glassmorphic white navbar, Inter only, gradient-oval hero.

   The editorial accents live INSIDE the brand — Fraunces serif for
   passage drop-caps + worked-example numbers (the only places a serif
   is on screen), bigger section kickers above worked examples, a
   tasteful "publishing" feel on the hub. Every accent is small,
   contained, and earned.

   Owner: this stylesheet only styles the practice-library pages.
   landing-pages.css owns the shared chrome (navbar, hero, footer,
   buttons, sections).

/* -----------------------------------------------------------------------
   EDITORIAL ACCENT LAYER (2026-09-20 round 4)
   The brand carries Inter for everything. Fraunces serif appears ONLY
   in three places, all of them earned:
   1. The drop-cap on the FIRST paragraph of each worked example passage.
   2. The numbered worked-example badge ("Example 01"). A serif number
      reads as "issue of a publication", not as decorative.
   3. A small italic kicker label on each worked example.

   Plus a handful of art details that earn their place inside the brand
   (without leaving it): small editorial flourish dividers between the
   hero and the body; a chip-style byline strip on detail pages; bigger
   kicker above the worked-example block; gradient CTA with three stops.
