/* ==========================================================================
   Rutilium Recruitment — v3
   Identity derived from the Rutilium logo: ink navy ground (#0c1c2b, the
   exact logo background), azure accent, brushed-steel text tones, and the
   chiselled geometry of the "R" (notched corners, sharp diagonals).
   Colour is applied as flat blocks only — depth comes from the navy tonal
   ladder (ink / raised / card / deep) and solid azure keylines, never
   gradient fills.
   Type: Archivo (headings) + IBM Plex Sans (body).
