كيف تختار الخط العربي المناسب لمتجرك الإلكتروني السعودي؟

Sahl Tuesday,04 Nov 2025

Have you ever entered an online store and felt that the font alone conveys an impression of the brand?

Sometimes the font is elegant and sophisticated, and sometimes it's simple and easy to read… But no matter how beautiful the design is, if the font is uncomfortable or doesn't suit the brand identity, the entire experience is affected.

That's why choosing the right Arabic font for your online store isn't just a matter of taste; it's a strategic decision that impacts customer trust and interaction with your site.

Let's learn together the right way to choose the perfect Arabic font for your Saudi store 👇

🖋️ 1️⃣ Start with your store's brand identity

The first step to choosing the right font is understanding your store's brand identity.

Does your store offer luxury products? Or is it a modern store that caters to a younger demographic?

The font must speak the language of your audience.

For example:

* Luxury stores tend to favor classic and elegant fonts like GE SS Two or DecoType Naskh.

* Youth-oriented stores are best suited to light fonts like Cairo or Changa.

* Official or government stores choose fonts like Tahoma Arabic or Noto Sans Arabic.

Your font choice should be an extension of your store's visual identity.

🧠 2️⃣ Clarity is more important than beauty.

Many store owners are drawn to ornate fonts, but customers want something simple and clear when browsing.

The font must be easy to read on both mobile phones and computers,
especially in Arabic, as some fonts become distorted or blurry on small screens.

Test the font on multiple devices before approving it,
and make sure the customer can read the text quickly and effortlessly.

💡 3️⃣ Use only two fonts in your store.

The golden rule is: don't use more than two fonts in your online store.

One for headings and the other for regular text.

Using too many fonts makes the store look cluttered and weakens the brand identity.

For example:

* Use a bold and eye-catching font for headings.

* Use a simple and clear font for text and descriptions.

This creates visual harmony that makes the customer feel comfortable while browsing.

📱 4️⃣ Ensure the font is compatible with Arabic and different devices.

Some fonts look great on a computer but don't display correctly on mobile phones or different browsers.

Make sure the font you choose fully supports Arabic characters without cutting them off or distorting them.

Fonts like Noto Kufi Arabic and Cairo are excellent because they support most devices and operating systems.

This way, you can ensure your website looks the same on every screen, whether it's an iPhone, Android, or laptop.

🎨 5️⃣ Font selection is part of your overall visual identity.

A font doesn't work in isolation.

It needs to harmonize with your website's colors, icons, and logo.

For example, if your website has a sophisticated color scheme (black and gold), choose an elegant and simple font.

If your store is vibrant and has bright colors, choose a font that conveys energy and dynamism.

The font is part of your brand language, the language you use to communicate with your customers.

🔍 6️⃣ Use original Arabic fonts, not Latin translations.

Many foreign fonts have been translated into Arabic, but they often look strange or inconsistent.

It's best to use Arabic fonts specifically designed for the Arabic language, as they ensure the letters are balanced and follow their natural direction.

For example:

* Amiri
* Tajawal
* IBM Plex Arabic

These fonts are professional and designed from the ground up for Arabic, adding an authentic and professional touch to your store.

🧩 7️⃣ Test customer feedback before final approval.

Before officially adopting the font, show samples of your store's design to a small group of customers or friends.

Ask them:

Is the font clear?

Does it convey confidence or sophistication?

Is it easy to read?

User feedback will help you choose the font that best reflects your brand's identity.
