/* ============================================================
   VSN — HOMEPAGE TYPOGRAPHY & BREATHING-ROOM PASS
   Brings homepage body copy up to the same reading size as the
   blog article body (15.5px/1.82 "Plus Jakarta Sans") and gives
   every section noticeably more vertical/inner spacing so the
   page reads as a set of distinct, breathable panels rather than
   a dense stack. Source-order in the cascade means these plain
   (non !important) rules safely win over the earlier, smaller
   sizing passes above.
