Every font-family rule in style.css names Inter, but the font never loaded. Its `@import` sat in the middle of the stylesheet, and browsers ignore an `@import` that comes after other rules, so headings, lists and navigation fell back to Helvetica or Arial. Paragraphs written in Markdown have no inter-* class and used Bootstrap's system font stack, so a page could show two typefaces. The font is now requested from the page head, with a preconnect, and `body` is set to Inter so that all text uses it. Inter is slightly wider than the fallback fonts. The header button would wrap to two lines between 1200 and 1400 px, so it is marked nowrap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Paragraphs have no width limit, so on a desktop window they stretch across the whole container. On the About, Team, FAQ and tool pages that is 130 to 170 characters per line, about twice what is comfortable to read. Paragraphs and list items are now capped at 40em, measured in their own font size. Those that hold an image, video, embed, table, code block or nested layout are left alone, as are headings, cards and grids. Centered paragraphs get auto margins so that they stay centered. Nothing changes at phone width, where lines are already short. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The body of a news post is set in #737780, which has a contrast ratio of 4.49:1 on white, just under the 4.5:1 that WCAG AA asks for. News posts now use #374151 (10.3:1), the color the other templates use for body text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Combines three PRs about body text. Each one is a separate merge commit, so they can be reviewed one at a time.
