   AKI Hospitality Group — main stylesheet (v4)

   Palette strategy: high tonal contrast, one saturated accent used at scale.
   True white cards sit on warm paper; deep espresso and oxblood carry the
   statement bands; brass appears only as hairlines and numerals.
   Type: Fraunces (display, H1/H2 only) / Inter (body, labels, UI).
