/* =============================================================================
   NOIR DENTAL STUDIO - theme-forge "tf-artevo-video" dental reskin.
   Archetype kept: Cinematic Dark Editorial (video hero). LIKENESS build: the
   Artevo "video-home" band order, geometry and motion are preserved; identity,
   palette, fonts, copy, imagery and sitemap are rebuilt for a premium implant +
   cosmetic clinic. Where the source FLIPPED to a light inner skin, Noir stays
   fully DARK on every page - a single-palette cinematic reskin (tokens swapped,
   structure kept). Original CSS/JS/copy/imagery.
   Palette "Halcyon Noir": near-black #0B0A08, text #EDE7DA, tan #B8A278, gold #C08A3E.
   Fonts: Italiana (thin high-contrast display serif) + Jost (geometric sans).

   UPGRADE PASS - educate-to-sell care modules, journal, editorial blocks.
   All of it built on Noir's own tokens: near-black grounds, warm hairlines,
   Italiana display + Jost UI, zero radius, tan accent. AA checked on the DARK
   surfaces used here (#0B0A08 base, #141210 panel, #241F19 soft band):
   tan #B8A278 = 8.0:1 on base and 6.6:1 on the soft band, so the accent is safe
   at small sizes; --muted #A79F8E (>=6:1) carries every caption and microcopy.
