/* ============================================================
   BLIND QUILL — "The Invisible Bindery"
   A bespoke literary design language for a blinded
   collaborative story-grafting game.

   System in one breath:
   - TWO VOICES: human manuscript (Spectral serif on paper)
     vs the invisible editor (IBM Plex Mono marginalia).
   - TWO WORLDS: Paper (light, reading/writing) and
     The Dark (deep ink-oxblood, the gallery + reveal).
   - MOTIFS: bookbinding thread (madder crimson) = every graft;
     veiling (redacted ink bars) = blinded content;
     gilt wax = sealed; illuminated drop-caps; folio ledger.
