/* =====================================================================
   PASHTUN GLOBAL - public site
   Connecting Enterprise. Inspiring Generations.

   The visual system follows the international business-title idiom: a
   high-contrast Didone for headlines set tight and in sentence case, a
   dense neutral grotesque for text, and a strictly monochrome palette
   where hierarchy is carried by rule weight and type size rather than
   colour. Measured against arabianbusiness.com, which is the same kind
   of publication.
