Italic styling and per-line font-mixing make CJK content render badly:
the inline font-family switches collide with system CJK fallbacks, and
Latin italics have no graceful CJK equivalent.
Changes across 21 templates:
- Stripped every <em>...</em> tag, keeping the inner text
- Removed every `font-style: italic` declaration
- Cleaned up template.json typography descriptions that named italic
faces (cobalt-grid, long-table, vellum)
- Re-rendered all 63 affected gallery screenshots from the updated source
- Regenerated index.json from the new template.json values
Heaviest changes: pink-script, soft-editorial, signal, long-table, vellum
(40-56 violations each). Visual identity preserved — italic fonts swapped
to their upright form, never substituted across families.
