SabikaBrand guide · v1.0 · October 2026

The quiet system behind the gold counter.

Sabika (سبيكة) means ingot: gold in its plainest, most trusted form. The brand is the same. It stays neutral so each jeweller's own name and logo lead, and uses gold only where value is being measured.

On customer invoices

The mark is an ingot seen from the side: a trapezoid with a lighter bevel on top. Minimum size 16 px. Never recolor the ingot outside ink, gold and white, never add gradients or shine.

Color

Neutral paper and ink carry the interface. Gold appears on karat marks, the primary charge action and active states. Each store can swap the accent for its own color.

One family across three scripts keeps Latin, Arabic and numbers optically matched. Every number a customer might check (grams, prices, invoice numbers) is set in Mono with tabular figures so columns line up.

Voice

Plain over clever

Say "Close shift", not "Wrap up your day". Staff use this all day; words should be short and literal.

Show the math

Every price can be broken into gold, making, stones and VAT. Trust in a gold shop comes from the numbers being visible.

The store comes first

Inside the app and on receipts, the jeweller's name and logo lead. Sabika appears in the title bar and as a small "Powered by" line.

Arabic is not a translation

Write Arabic copy natively with trade terms jewellers use (مصنعية، كسر، عيار), not literal translations from English.
