Document NPS typography (Rawlinson/Frutiger) and editorial style guide
CI / check (push) Successful in 44s
CI / deploy (push) Successful in 14s

Noted for completeness in docs/nps-resources.adoc — both proprietary/
licensed fonts, unlike the SIL OFL Noto Sans already vendored, so not
adoptable. The editorial style guide is NPS's own writing/terminology
conventions, not a design or code resource, included only since it was
shared alongside the typography notes.

== Typography & editorial standards
Part of the NPS graphic identity, alongside Park Tiles — noted for
completeness, but not adoptable and not directly relevant to this app's
own work (a map viewer, not a publisher of NPS-branded content):
* *Typefaces*: the standards specify two — *NPS Rawlinson* (licensed to
NPS by its creator, Terminal Design) and *Frutiger* (licensed from
Adobe Systems). Both proprietary/commercially licensed, unlike the
fonts this app already vendors (Noto Sans, SIL OFL — see
`docs/third-party-notices.adoc`) — not something to pull in.
* *Hawaiian typography*: NPS Rawlinson includes vowels with Hawaiian
macrons (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū) and the okina (ʻ); the regular weight of
Frutiger doesn't, so NPS uses a separate "HFrutiger" weight for
Hawaiian-language text in official materials.
* *Editorial style guide*:
https://www.nps.gov/subjects/hfc/hfc-editorial-style-guide.htm — HFC's
writing/terminology conventions (capitalization, place names,
Spanish-language guidance, disability language, etc.), built on top of
the Chicago Manual of Style, AP Stylebook, and GPO Style Manual. A
content style guide for NPS's own written materials, not a design/code
resource — included here only because it was shared alongside the
typography notes above.
