/* MEX Restoration — stylesheet
   Direction: plain and confident. White ground, near-black ink, the brand olive
   for actions only. One American workhorse typeface (Libre Franklin) for
   everything; Libre Caslon Display appears only in the wordmark. Photography
   is shown clean — never under a gradient except where the mobile spec asks.
