Summary

  • Body background and the date-section panel now use soft top-to-bottom gradients instead of flat colors, lightened overall.
  • Day title and the "Scripture Readings"/"Commemorations" section titles scale responsively (clamp() + container queries), holding full size until a narrower breakpoint before shrinking, mirroring the site title's existing technique. Day title also gets small-caps and a lighter charcoal color.
  • Reading/story titles render in italic.
  • Site menu, day-nav, and calendar/tradition toggles switch to the Optima font; translation picker follows suit.
  • Site nav/title row no longer silently wraps before the hamburger breakpoint (flex-wrap: nowrap) — the mobile menu switch is now the only fallback for limited space.
  • Site title small-caps and drop shadow removed.
  • Empty calendar-grid cells are transparent instead of an opaque fill, letting the page background show through.

Test plan

  • Verified visually in-browser at multiple simulated container widths (day title, section titles, nav wrap behavior)
  • Verified calendar page empty-cell transparency
  • Run test suite (docker compose run --rm tests) before merge — no test-suite runs were done during this iterative visual session, per standing instruction to confirm first

…c reading titles, Optima nav font

- Body background and date-section panel now use soft top-to-bottom
  gradients instead of flat colors, with lightened tones throughout.
- Day title and the "Scripture Readings"/"Commemorations" section
  titles scale responsively via clamp()+container queries, holding
  full size until a narrower breakpoint before shrinking (mirrors the
  site title's existing technique). Day title also gets small-caps and
  a lighter charcoal color.
- Reading/story titles render in italic for visual distinction.
- Site menu, day-nav, and calendar/tradition toggles switch to Optima;
  translation picker follows suit.
- Site nav and title row no longer silently wrap before the hamburger
  breakpoint kicks in (flex-wrap: nowrap) -- switching to the mobile
  menu is now the only way space constraints are handled.
- Site title small-caps and drop shadow removed for a cleaner look.
- Empty calendar-grid cells are transparent instead of an opaque fill,
  letting the page background show through.
