   font-display:swap  -> the browser gives the preloaded font a ~100ms window.
   If it arrives (normal case, fonts are preloaded and self-hosted) it is used at
   first paint and NEVER swaps. If it misses, the fallback is used for the whole
   page load and still never swaps. Either way: no flash, no reflow.

   The fallbacks below override ONLY the line box (ascent/descent), matching
   Cormorant/DM Sans exactly. Deliberately NO size-adjust on the serif: Cormorant
   has a very small x-height but normal glyph widths, so scaling to match x-height
   squeezes it ~15% too narrow and changes line breaks. Measured, not assumed. */
