What changed

Two tweaks to the giant "Galaxio" wordmark in the footer, per feedback that it read as oversized and the trailing dot looked unnecessary:

  1. Size — `font-size: clamp(96px, 18vw, 320px)` → `clamp(72px, 13vw, 200px)`. The old cap (320px) was more than double the hero headline's own max (148px), making the footer signature the single biggest thing on the page by a wide margin. Still a prominent closing flourish, just no longer dwarfing everything else.
  2. Dot — dropped the trailing `` (and its now-unused CSS rule). It was carried over from the hero headline's "parts." treatment, but sitting alone after a wordmark with no sentence/punctuation context, it read as an unexplained ornament rather than a period.

Only `.footer-wordmark`'s own dot is touched — `.hero-headline .dot` (the "parts.") is untouched.

Verification

  • 390px: wordmark renders as "Galaxio" (no dot), proportionate size.
  • 1650px: `getComputedStyle` confirms `font-size: 200px` (down from 320px) and `textContent` is `"Galaxio"` with no dot character.
  • `astro build` passes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The footer 'Galaxio' wordmark capped at 320px — more than double the
hero headline's own max (148px) — reading as oversized relative to the
rest of the page's type scale. Rein in the clamp to 72px/13vw/200px, a
still-prominent closing signature but no longer the single biggest
thing on the page.

Also drop the trailing baseline dot: it was carried over from the
matching hero-headline treatment, but on the wordmark alone (no
sentence, no punctuation context) it read as an unexplained ornament
rather than a period.

Verified: 390px shows 'Galaxio' with no dot at a proportionate size;
at 1650px computed font-size is 200px (down from 320px) via
getComputedStyle. astro build passes.
