   CSSA · City Schools Sports Association — "Full Time" design system
   Sporty, high-energy identity built for India:
   bleed-blue royal + tricolour saffron, green reserved for wins.
   Type: Khand (display) + Mukta (body) — Indian Type Foundry,
   Devanagari-ready — with IBM Plex Mono for scores and data.
   Signature: skewed speed bars, parallelogram buttons, hard shadows,
   scoreboard chips, and a 3px tricolour ribbon bookending the page.
