/* =========================================================================
   About (/about), 2026-09-30, launch pass.
   Same family as the rebuilt Why Embroidery page (css/why_embroidery.css):
   big Oswald type, hairlines, the shared ink facts bar under the hero, and
   the homepage's button pair. Real shop photos only; no placeholders, no
   machine brand, no slab numerals. Everything is scoped under .ab and
   page-local (no Tailwind utilities, so no css:build). 1rem = 10px.
