    afrofootball dark editorial theme.

    Design tokens, self-hosted fonts and the site shell (utility bar, header,
    navigation, newsletter, footer). Replaces the retired Grunt/Sass main.css.
    Per-screen styles are added as each template is reskinned; the compat layer
    at the bottom keeps not-yet-reskinned pages legible on the dark background.
