   CareerNestIQ — Design System
   Concept: the "milestone route" — a journey marked by honest waypoints.
   Palette follows Apollo MedSkills' healthcare-group identity — deep teal-blue
   (Apollo "Blue Chill") as the ink, warm mango/amber as the marker accent —
   instead of the default cream/terracotta or near-black/neon combos. Display
   serif (Newsreader) for editorial warmth, IBM Plex Sans for body, IBM Plex
   Mono for the marker/eyebrow system that echoes distance-post signage.
