/* Next Role Studio — Blog (blog.nextrole.studio)
   Adapted from the family site.css (jobsearch.nextrole.studio): same
   palette, header, nav, buttons and footer; trimmed to what a blog
   needs, extended with post-card and article typography.

   Palette sampled from the sign-in / admin portal theme:
   deep indigo #1e1b4b → #2b2585 → #3730a3, bright indigo #6366f1,
   coral #e8445f / #d12f4c — same values across every property. */
