feat: plakat redesign phase 1 (tokens, fonts, poster hero, header)

- New design tokens: signal red, ink and paper as RGB channels; ink and paper
  swap roles in dark mode so every component inverts cleanly
- Fonts via next/font: Bricolage Grotesque (with wdth/opsz axes), Geist,
  Geist Mono; drop Inter and Playfair
- Poster hero: kicker, giant DK0 wordmark that reacts to pointer distance
  (weight and width through a damped spring, desktop only, off for reduced
  motion), claim as h1, intro with thesis countdown, marquee strip
- Header in poster style: transparent over the red hero, paper strip with
  ink rule when scrolled or on subpages; drawer menu restyled
- Remove wavy SVG separators, CSS shader gradient, background blobs and
  unused providers that caused the pink/purple bands between sections
- Drop the global p/span/div color override so colors inherit properly
- New hero texts in de/en, tests and i18n key check updated
