   V1.8.1 — LARGE DESKTOP / PC ENHANCEMENT
   Everything below only fires at 1200px+ (well above every
   mobile/tablet breakpoint used elsewhere in this file: 780,
   900, 1000px). Mobile and tablet layouts are untouched.
   Purpose: on big monitors the fixed --container max-width
   (1500px) was leaving large empty margins either side of a
   relatively narrow, small-type layout. This widens the
   container and nudges type up a step so the page fills a
   PC screen properly, without altering flow or breakpoints.
