/* =============================================================
   Varchar IT Solution — Global Stylesheet  (v4)

   DIRECTION — "editorial light + ink bands"
   Combines the quiet, numbered editorial structure of CloudCoder
   (eyebrow labels, capability numbering, paired tag chips, ticker)
   with the commercial clarity of Brain Station 23 (hero slider,
   metric callouts, industry grid, process steps, case cards).

   Light paper base for credibility and photography; deep ink bands
   for the hero, approach and footer so the page has rhythm.
