/**
 * BSERI About Section — Premium Editorial Design System
 *
 * Requires theme.css (tokens) on the same page. Do not @import fonts/colors here.
 * Nav-over-hero layout: assets/css/nav-over-hero.css + body.nav-over-hero
 *
 * Navy & gold editorial language used across every page in /about/:
 *   - about-us.php, our-philosophy.php, team.php
 *   - code-of-ethics.php, ethical-commitment.php
 *   - certification-process.php, certificate-value.php, certificate-advantage.php
 *   - certification/standards-coverage.php (via same about-* components)
 *   - manjula-subramanian.php, govind-srinivasan.php, geetha-radhakrishnan.php
 *
 * Tokens: bseri-colors.css (--color-about-accent periwinkle #C3CBE4, not gold).
 *
 * Three-font system — strict per BRAND-GUIDELINES.md §3 + §4.7:
 *   - Montserrat   (--font-family-sans)   →  ALL headings, UI, eyebrows, labels,
 *                                            buttons, AND decorative display
 *                                            numerals (stat / pillar / timeline /
 *                                            numbered-card).  Brand §3.4 rule 2
 *                                            keeps short cards off Merriweather.
 *   - Fira Sans    (--font-family-body)   →  body copy in short cards, captions,
 *                                            credentials, breadcrumbs, bios.
 *   - Merriweather (--font-family-serif)  →  .about-pull-quote ONLY (§3.4 rule 2).
 *   - .about-lead / .about-body use Fira Sans (site body), not Merriweather.
 *
 * Brand alignment: editorial pages do not visually fork from the rest of the
 * site. Headings sit in the same Montserrat ladder as the homepage; only the
 * Type sizes match the
 * §3.2 scale and §3.3 weight roles.
 *
 * Maintenance: when adding a new component, default to Montserrat for the
 * heading/numeral and Fira Sans for the body. Merriweather is pull-quotes only.
