/* ============================================================
   THE VETTIC DOSSIER
   The page is typeset as a talent dossier on a coral desk.
   Coral #f99984 is a SURFACE only (desk bookends), never text.
   Red #e5402a appears in exactly ONE place: the word "faster."
   in the hero headline — display size on cream only (3.80:1 =
   large-text AA; it fails below display size — never reuse it).
