## 🎨 Design System Changes

### Typography (Lexend Deca - Site Wide)
- **Font Family**: Lexend Deca loaded from Google Fonts
- **Heading Scale**: 
  - H1: 48-56px (clamp 3rem - 3.5rem)
  - H2: 36-42px (clamp 2.25rem - 2.625rem)
  - H3: 24-30px (clamp 1.5rem - 1.875rem)
  - Body: 16px (1rem)
- **Applied To**: All headings, body text, and UI elements

### Glassmorphism System
Three glass variants added to `globals.css`:

#### `.glass` (Standard)
- Background: Linear gradient rgba(255,255,255,0.06) → rgba(255,255,255,0.03)
- Backdrop filter: blur(12px) saturate(120%)
- Border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.12)
- Shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(2,8,23,0.6)
- Border radius: var(--radius-lg, 24px)

#### `.glass-strong` (Enhanced)
- Background: Linear gradient rgba(255,255,255,0.12) → rgba(255,255,255,0.08)
- Backdrop filter: blur(16px) saturate(140%)
- Border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.18)
- Stronger shadow with inner glow

#### `.glass-light` (Subtle)
- Background: Linear gradient rgba(255,255,255,0.08) → rgba(255,255,255,0.04)
- Backdrop filter: blur(8px) saturate(110%)
- Minimal border for subtle effects

### Button System (100% Pill Shaped)
All buttons now use `border-radius: var(--radius-pill, 9999px)`:

#### `.btn-primary`
- Gradient: linear-gradient(135deg, var(--primary), var(--link-hover))
- Hover: translateY(-2px) scale(1.02) + enhanced shadow
- Shimmer effect on hover

#### `.btn-secondary`
- Gradient: linear-gradient(135deg, var(--accent), #5ab8d8)
- Same hover effects as primary

#### `.btn-glass`
- Uses glassmorphism background
- Fully rounded with backdrop blur
- Hover: Enhanced blur and scale

#### `.btn-outline`
- Transparent background with 2px border
- Hover: Inverted colors (background becomes foreground)

### Card Hover System
`.card-hover` class applied throughout:
- Transform: translateY(-8px) scale(1.02) on hover
- Glow effect using ::after pseudo-element
- Box shadow animation with accent color
- Respects `prefers-reduced-motion`

### Background Overlays (75% Dark)
`.section-overlay` class for sections with background images:
- Uses ::before pseudo-element
- Background: rgba(0,0,0,0.75)
- Applied consistently across hero sections
- Content remains above overlay (z-index: 2)

### Scroll-Triggered Animations
`.scroll-fade` class with IntersectionObserver:
- Initial: opacity 0, translateY(30px)
- Visible: opacity 1, translateY(0)
- Staggered delays for list items
- Smooth 0.8s ease transitions

### Micro-Animations
- `animate-float`: Floating effect (6s infinite)
- `animate-fadeInUp`: Fade in from bottom
- `animate-fadeInDown`: Fade in from top
- `animate-scaleIn`: Scale-in entrance
- All animations disabled with `prefers-reduced-motion`
