/* Guide article design — freecreditsnodeposit.com
 *
 * Applies to the 105 plain WordPress pages (bonus guides + casino reviews),
 * which shipped with no styling of their own: unstyled text at full browser
 * width. Everything is scoped under .guide so it cannot leak into the
 * Elementor-built homepage.
 *
 * Palette and type are taken from what the site already has — the dark of the
 * existing footer, the brand gold, the cream header band, and the three font
 * families already downloaded locally. No new network requests.
