/* ============================================================
   THE 626 CLUB — DIRECTION 2: DARK LUXURY
   Sophisticated, dramatic, refined.

   The idea: near-black ground, ONE accent (warm gold), and a
   high-contrast old-style serif set large and light. That thin,
   wide-set type is what reads as expensive — not the gold. Gold
   is rationed: rules, kickers, and the primary button. Nothing
   else. Body copy sits at deliberately low contrast so the
   headings and photographs carry the page.
