Fonts: Display text (headings, logo): Instrument Serif Body text (navigation, descriptions): Inter Import both fonts in /src/styles/fonts.css

Video Background: URL: https://d8j0ntlcm91z4.cloudfront.net/user_38xzZboKViGWJOttwIXH07lWA1P/hf_20260328_083109_283f3553-e28f-428b-a723-d639c617eb2b.mp4 Position: top: '300px' with inset: 'auto 0 0 0' Implement custom fade-in/fade-out loop logic using React useEffect and useRef: Use requestAnimationFrame to continuously monitor currentTime and duration Fade in over 0.5s at the start (opacity 0 to 1) Fade out over 0.5s before the end (opacity 1 to 0) On ended event: set opacity to 0, wait 100ms, reset currentTime = 0, then play() again This creates a seamless manual loop with smooth fade transitions Add gradient overlays: absolute inset-0 bg-gradient-to-b from-background via-transparent to-background positioned over the video
