01 / TYPE
Clear direction

01 / THE IDEA
Not a uniform look—
the right form for each message
Every brief, audience, and message is different. KUMIHAN｜نضيد helps AI shape typography, spacing, and hierarchy around the meaning and priorities of each piece—rather than applying one template to everything.
02 / WHAT MATTERS
Four things worth getting right
Practical priorities for creating and reviewing Arabic content.
02 / STRUCTURE
Purposeful structure
Shape the layout around the information, its priority, and the reader’s goal.
03 / FIDELITY
Source fidelity
Names, prices, figures, diacritics, intentional Tatweel, and invisible controls stay exactly as supplied.
04 / REVIEW
Read-only review
Check finished work and organize issues—without touching the files.
SAUDI ARABIA / UAE / EGYPT / MOROCCO
One Arabic language
different regional customs
The skills work with a profile for each region and adapt to its character—digit forms, calendar and month names. Modern Standard Arabic stays the shared base; regional variants are respected rather than flattened, and the source text is preserved.
SASaudi Arabia
ar-SAThe Hijri calendar is widely used alongside the Gregorian, and Eastern Arabic digits (١٢٣) are common in writing.
AEUnited Arab Emirates
ar-AEArabic–English bilingual text is common in business and signage, and both digit forms appear side by side.
EGEgypt
ar-EGThe most populous Arab country. Eastern Arabic digits (١٢٣) are common in newspapers and on signs.
MAMorocco
ar-MANumbers are usually written with Western digits (123), and some months have Maghrebi names (يوليوز, غشت).
