   Ezewag Overseas — Site Design System
   Replaces: clean-site.css, premium-skin.css, pages/home/home.css,
             blog/assets/blog.css, and the inline <style> blocks.

   Design language: white canvas, deep violet-ink contrast sections, one
   violet accent with gold as the heritage secondary, unified corporate sans
   typography, generous radii, and a fluid clamp() scale.
