/* ============================================================================
   firstm.work — home.css (the GTM engineering homepage, 2026-10-07)

   Homepage only. The About, 404 and /booked/ pages still load site.css.

   One family, Archivo, and its WIDTH axis is the voice: headlines are set
   condensed and heavy, reading text at normal width. No mono, no all-caps.

   The one loud element is the market field in #method. Everything else is
   kept quiet so it can be the thing people remember. Its four dot states are
   the page's colour vocabulary, reused elsewhere:
     hollow   → in the market        (fit: "not worth building when")
     steel    → found by your data
     paper    → identified as a buyer
     gold     → the gap, the advantage (fit: "worth building when", the period)
