/* ==========================================================================
   daytonlawyers.com, 2026 redesign
   Law Offices of Terry W. Posey

   Concept: "From the badge to the bar." Deep ink navy and warm ivory, a brass
   accent drawn from the Medal of Valor, a warm editorial serif for headlines
   and a plain, highly legible sans for reading. A dashed road center line is
   the recurring signature for a practice built around crash injuries.
   Replaces css/styles.css and css/pages.css (kept on disk for rollback).
