/*
  The Knee Files — one stylesheet.

  Previously this was three files loaded in sequence (site, manuscript, record),
  each one overriding the last. They are merged here in the same order, with the
  787 declarations that never survived the cascade removed.

  Type: Newsreader (Production Type, OFL) for everything read as prose. It is
  variable on two axes, and the optical-size axis is what does the real work —
  the hero and the body copy come from the same family without the headings
  looking like inflated body text. Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and its Mono
  companion (Braille Institute, OFL) carry the labels, the nav and the readouts.
  Both are self-hosted from static/fonts; nothing is fetched at runtime.
