   Hird, Chu, Lawji & Manji — main stylesheet (BEM)

   Sizing: the design is 1920px wide. `--u` is one design pixel: 1px at
   1920, scaling proportionally down to 1200px (so the layout matches the
   design at 1920/1440/1280). Below 1200px the layout switches to the
   tablet/mobile rules at the end of the file and --u becomes a constant.
   Text sizes have minimums so they never get too small.
