/* ==========================================================================
   VARO Commercial Partnerships — design system
   Source of truth: the VARO brand deck (palette, wide geometric display type,
   V-cut logo, short bronze dash, numbered services, dark cinematic imagery).

   Type rules
   - Uppercase + tracking only for short labels (1–4 words), navigation,
     buttons, H1 and short section H2s. Tracking is 0.08–0.12em, never wider.
   - Anything longer than a few words (e.g. who a service is for) is sentence
     case: the .audience role, never an uppercase label.
   - Body 17–18px. Nothing people read is smaller than 16px; labels are 13px.

   Page rhythm (homepage)
   hero: full-bleed image  →  approach: editorial statement  →  services:
   sticky heading + connected rows  →  full-width image moment  →  drivers:
   image/text split  →  partnerships: open two columns  →  contact band
