/* Neugent Consulting · brand theme
   Everything here is derived from the logo: the navy #0c1a34 it sits on, one blue lifted
   from the same hue for links and numbers, a pale blue-grey for alternate sections.
   Type is the editorial pairing the firm chose: Source Serif 4 for headlines, Inter for
   everything else. The NC mark appears as a masked watermark on the navy bands that have
   no photograph, and as the small glyph before section kickers. */
