Belle Époque Beirut was a city dressed in two scripts and eight languages: French gas lamps lit sandstone colonnades, red tarboush hats bobbed above black frock coats at the Place des Canons, and hand-set Arabic and French type shared the same café menu card. This design system distils that particular afternoon light — dust-rose limestone, tarboush crimson, gold-foil cartouche ornaments — into a typographic and color language that feels like opening a hand-tinted Fouad Debbas postcard.
The palette avoids orientalist fantasy and modern beige alike. Playfair Display provides Didone headline drama; Cormorant Garamond supplies the long-form editorial voice of a 1900s Levantine book. Every surface carries the faint grain of laid paper and the warmth of Mediterranean sandstone at four o'clock.
美好年代的贝鲁特，是一座穿着两种文字、说着八种语言的城市：法式煤气灯照亮砂岩柱廊，红色塔布什毡帽在烈士广场咖啡馆的黑色礼服上方起伏，阿拉伯文和法文共享同一张手工排版的菜单卡。这套设计体系提炼了那个特定的午后光线——尘玫瑰色石灰岩、塔布什深红、金箔徽饰框——凝结为一种让人仿佛翻开福阿德·德巴斯手工上色明信片的视觉语言。
配色拒绝东方主义幻想，也回避现代米色调。Playfair Display 提供迪多尼风格的标题张力，Cormorant Garamond 则承担二十世纪初黎凡特书籍的长文阅读质感。每一个表面都带着铺纹纸的细微肌理与地中海砂岩在下午四点的暖意。
