   Axivaris bespoke stylesheet
   Loads after theme.json's generated CSS variables.

   theme.json exposes brand colors as --wp--preset--color--<slug> and
   font families as --wp--preset--font-family--<slug>. The original
   stylesheet was authored against --axv-* names, so we alias them here.
   This keeps both the editor (which reads theme.json) and the front-end
