/* ============================================================
   The Metropolitan Builder — design system
   Palette derived from: (1) the business's actual 2019 logo file
   (bronze #7a5f44, sampled from the real asset) and (2) the
   current issue's cover photography (a Mediterranean Houston
   custom home — terracotta tile roof gave the terracotta accent).
   Ink navy is a deliberate new choice for this build: this is a
   media/publishing brand ("Metropolitan"), not a rustic remodeler,
   so it leans editorial/urban rather than the warm-cream-plus-brass
   look already used on two sibling Marathon builds.
   Fonts: Fraunces (editorial display serif, echoes the tall serif
   feel of the old wordmark) + Barlow / Barlow Condensed (clean
   grotesk for body copy and small-caps kicker labels, echoing the
   old logo's bold blocky "BUILDER").
