/* Hey Maxx marketing site
   Direction: editorial and calm. Warm paper, navy ink, teal used only for action.
   Hero carries a soft glow + dot grid; surfaces have a fine clay grain; cards have soft clay depth.
   Max appears in the hero and sign-up. Timeline and bullet lists animate on scroll.
   Patients' own words are set in a serif italic; everything else is one sans. */
