   Beige, editorial, sharp. A grotesk headline on the left, the pitch and two arrow
   buttons on the right, then a framed panel of dithered static — dark brown on cream —
   drawn by an inline SVG filter (turbulence + threshold), with the two facts in its corner.
   No JavaScript, no image files.
   Body/Display: Manrope · Essay copy: Source Serif 4 · Labels: DM Mono (Google Fonts).
