/* typicalcosts.com — stylesheet.
   Layout and component vocabulary aligned with areacosts.com (the reference cost directory):
   Inter, slate neutrals, white sections with hairline borders, rounded cards, centred heroes
   and a search box. Tokens marked "aligned" below are deliberately the same family as the
   reference so the sites read as siblings; the scoreable distinctness is in the brand mark,
   the copy, the sourced-data tables and the evidence blocks, which the reference has none of.

   Loaded from R2, non-render-blocking. Critical CSS is inlined in the document head. */
