/* ENPOWER blog, 21 Aug 2026.
   Built on the same bones as enpower-legal.css so the blog inherits the house
   look without duplicating the marketing pages' large inline stylesheet.
   Reading measure is set for roughly 70 to 75 characters per line: in
   Montserrat 1ch is 0.658em against a ~0.48em average glyph, so a ch based cap
   would run about a third wider than intended. Widths here are in px for that
   reason. */
