The italic 'B' on 'Bifrost' was being clipped at the top because
background-clip: text only paints inside the inline element's content
box — which at the previous tight line-height didn't include the
ascender flourish.
Two cooperating fixes:
- .wordmark-project gets line-height: 1.5 so the parent line-box has
enough vertical room for the italic ascender to live in.
- .wordmark-bifrost becomes display: inline-block with 4px top / 2px
bottom padding. That extends the element's content box vertically so
the gradient-clip mask covers the full italic glyph including the
serif curl above the cap-height.
