Subject: [PATCH] redesign: premium editorial light theme
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replaces the 90s CRT/terminal aesthetic (green-on-black, scanlines,
marquee, VT323/Press Start 2P, glitch animation, [LOG] tags) with a
clean editorial magazine layout:

- Warm off-white background (#fbfaf6) with rich near-black ink
- Fraunces serif for display/headlines + Inter for body + JetBrains Mono
  for code (variable-axis Fraunces with optical-size adjustments)
- Terracotta accent (#e85d3c) — single brand color, used for the "404"
  in the wordmark, drop caps, hover states, blockquote rule
- Generous whitespace, 720px reading column, 1100px container
- Card-style post listing with subtle hover lift
- Drop cap on the first paragraph of each article
- Pill-shaped tags + pagination buttons
- Class names preserved (.post, .post-title, .post-content, .tag, etc.)
  so PostList and post pages cascade through unchanged

The "hype404" wordmark still leads the brand identity but is now bold
serif rather than pixel-art ASCII. Existing posts' AI-generated CRT
cover images remain — the magazine layout treats them as deliberate
cover-art rather than chrome, which still reads coherently.
