   Palette: warm cream + sage + deep forest + wood + muted gold
   Type: Fraunces (display, used with restraint) + Inter (body/utility)
   Signature motif: the "archway" — a top-rounded frame used on the hero
   image and pathway cards, echoing both an open front door (family,
   welcome) and a document corner (notary, paperwork).
