/* =========================================================
   J & J ASSOCIATES — DESIGN TOKENS
   Palette: Ink Navy (authority) + Brass/Gold (heritage, notary
   seal) + Warm Paper (approachability) + Deep Tile Red (a nod
   to the red-tiled colonial court roofs of Thalassery).
   Type: Fraunces (display serif, legal-heritage character)
         + Source Sans 3 (clean, highly legible body/UI face)
   Signature motif: a vertical "case timeline" rule with
   circular nodes — echoes both a docket/case-diary and the
   1793→2025 court history — reused across dividers & the
   Thalassery Legacy page.
