Provençal Mediterranean

Provençal Mediterranean is the sun-bleached terracotta-and-olive palette of warm farmhouse life across southern France, Tuscany, and the Greek islands. Terracotta roof tile, whitewashed limestone, olive foliage, painted-shutter blue, lavender fields, woven straw, hand-thrown ceramic — the surfaces of a long lunch under a fig tree.

Codified by Peter Mayle's *A Year in Provence* (1989), Frances Mayes's *Under the Tuscan Sun* (1996), and Slim Aarons's poolside photography, the style says the sun is generous and every object is touched by hand. Typography is classical serif and italic, evoking the village-market chalkboard; geometry is rounded, organic, and gently irregular.

普罗旺斯地中海风格，是法国南部、意大利托斯卡纳与希腊岛屿那股被阳光晒暖的陶土与橄榄调子—— 赤陶屋瓦、石灰白墙、橄榄枝影、百叶窗的"bleu des volets"蓝、薰衣草田、编织草席、 手拉坯陶器，无一不带着掌心的温度。它说的是：太阳慷慨，午餐漫长，每一件器物都被手摸过。

这股审美被 Peter Mayle 的《普罗旺斯的一年》（1989）、Frances Mayes 的《托斯卡纳艳阳下》 （1996）与 Slim Aarons 的池畔摄影定格下来。配色是被阳光漂淡的陶土暖色，字体选古典衬线体与 斜体小写，像乡村集市的粉笔招牌；几何形状圆润、有机、带些微手作的不对称。
