             "Know your next move."            .final-cta h2      -> Fraunces italic

         Fraunces at runtime. --font-accent (Cormorant) is a different face and
         is NOT what those headings use — it belongs to .team-name (Dean Nguyen)

         first with getComputedStyle.

       Symbol = master artwork (symbol-bone.png). Wordmark = real text, so it
       stays crawlable/indexable for SEO/GEO/AEO.

       Every value below is derived from lockup-horizontal-bone.png, measured
       against the symbol's ink height (S = --iz-sym). Change --iz-sym only —
       everything else scales with it, so the ratio never drifts:
         symbol ink aspect ....... 1.8505 (792 x 428)
         svg canvas / ink height . 1.1230 (IZ-header-mark-bone.svg viewBox pad)
         gap symbol -> rule ...... 0.277 S   (less the svg's own 0.061 S pad)
         rule height ............. 0.734 S   hairline, bone @ 32%
         gap rule -> wordmark .... 0.243 S
         wordmark cap height ..... 0.1864 S  -> font-size 0.2553 S
         line pitch .............. 0.339 S   -> line-height 1.327
         tracking ................ 0.205em   (the lockup is tighter than the
                                              standalone wordmark's 0.30em)
         weight .................. 700        (stem/em 0.144)
       Colour is Bone on Ink — never white (white is the knockout for use over
       photography/video only). Gold is never applied to symbol or wordmark. */

       Fraunces · weight 300 · font-variation-settings: "opsz" 144, "SOFT" 30

   opsz 144 is the whole point. Fraunces' optical-size axis runs 9–144; at
   144 it becomes the display cut — thin hairlines, high contrast, the flared
   terminals you see in "Know your next move." Omit it and you get Fraunces'
   default text cut: chunkier, low contrast, visibly a different typeface at
   a glance. Five headings used to omit it, including the hero H1 — which is
   why "Wealth, engineered." never matched "Wealth is engineered, not earned."
   despite being nearly the same words in nominally the same font.

   Italic is NOT part of this standard — it's applied per heading, and to
   stressed words via --font-emphasis. Weight and opsz are.
   Don't add a heading without this cut.

   The Zephyr mark is ~1.85:1, so fitting its WIDTH inside a ring leaves its
   HEIGHT at a fraction of the box — at 15px with an r=9 ring the mark came out
   4.1px tall against an 8.3px cap height beside it, i.e. half. Two fixes, both
   geometric rather than cosmetic:
     · ring r 9 → 10.4 (outer edge 11.15, still inside the 24-box)
     · mark fitted to the ring's true chord, not an arbitrary 12.4
   plus 15 → 18px here. Net: the mark is ~2.4× its old area and now reads.

/* ── Hero watermark reveal ───────────────────────────────────────────────
   The same move as the sign-off at the end of Contact (.izlr-mark img):
   scale up from 0.55, un-rotate from -22deg, fade in — on the same easing
   curve, cubic-bezier(.2,.72,.24,1).

   Two deliberate differences:

   1. SLOWER — 2.4s against the sign-off's 1.25s. That's 1150px of artwork
      rather than 90px; the same duration on something this size reads as a
      lurch rather than a breath. Same curve, longer arc.

   2. AN ANIMATION, NOT A TRANSITION. The sign-off can use a transition because
      an IntersectionObserver adds .in when you scroll down to it. This one is
      on screen at load, so a transition would have to be armed first — and
      arming with a transition attached is exactly the bug that kept the mission
      signature invisible: it animates 1 -> 0 before it can animate 0 -> 1.
      A keyframe animation with `both` has no arming step and can't hit that.

   The blur resolves to 1.5px, not 0. This is a watermark sitting behind live
   headline text at 16% opacity — leaving a hair of softness keeps it behind the
   words instead of competing with them. It starts at 26px so the mark arrives
   like something coming into focus.

       [17 Jul] The old rule put `transition: opacity 4.4s` on .sig-anim itself,

       (+ its 1.8–2.9s delay). On the home page the mission signature therefore
       spent ~6s quietly fading out while you scrolled toward it, and then faded
       back in — net effect, nothing you could see. The About signature escaped
       it only because its page is display:none at load, so no transition could
       run and it armed instantly.
       Fix: arm with NO transition; transition only on the way in. The
       :not(.sig-in) is what makes that work — .sig-armed is never removed, so
       without it the "transition: none" would also kill the fade-in.
