You are working on a product that uses the **GINI** brand. Follow these
rules whenever you generate code, UI, or marketing copy.

## Brand identity

- **Name:** GINI (Arabic: جنّي). Always capitalised. Never "Gini" or "GiNi".
- **Tagline:** "The Iraqi gateway to global brands."
- **Tone:** confident, warm, plain-spoken. Iraqi-rooted but globally fluent.
- **Industry:** e-commerce / digital commerce platform.

## Colour palette

Use these colours and only these colours unless the user explicitly
asks for an exception:

- **GINI Orange** `#F05D25` — Primary brand colour — logo, buttons, interactive elements. (PANTONE 1655 C)
- **Ember** `#D94E1A` — Darker shade for hover states and type on light fills. (PANTONE 1665 C)
- **Night Ink** `#1A1A1A` — Primary text and headlines on light surfaces.
- **Warm Cream** `#FBF6F0` — Primary surface across the site and marketing material.
- **Quiet Sand** `#EFE6DB` — Secondary surfaces for cards and section dividers.

**Hard rules:**
- Primary brand colour is **#F05D25** (GINI Orange). It must appear at
  least once in any GINI surface.
- Never use purple/violet prominently.
- White text on orange is for headings ≥ 18px only — never for body copy.
- For body copy, prefer Night Ink `#1A1A1A` on Warm Cream `#FBF6F0`.
- For coloured text on cream, use Ember `#D94E1A` (not the primary
  orange) — it hits AA contrast where the primary doesn't.

## Typography

- **Family:** Rubik (Arabic + Latin in one family — never split).
- **Body:** 16–18px, weight 400, line-height 1.6.
- **Headings:** weight 700–800, line-height 1.15.
- Wrap titles in `text-balance`, paragraphs in `text-pretty`.
- Arabic copy needs `leading-snug` minimum so tashkeel isn't clipped.

## Implementation defaults

- Tailwind CSS v4. Add this to the TOP of globals.css (the brand
  import MUST come BEFORE `@import "tailwindcss"` so PostCSS doesn't
  reject the bundle once Tailwind expands its rules):
  ```css
  @import url("https://gini.iq/brand.tailwind.css");
  @import "tailwindcss";
  ```
  You then get `bg-primary`, `text-ink`, `bg-cream`, `font-sans` for free.
- shadcn/ui for primitives. Use the design tokens `bg-background`,
  `text-foreground`, `bg-card`, `text-primary`, etc. Never use
  `bg-white` / `bg-black` directly.
- Maximum 3–5 colours per design.
- Use flexbox first, grid only for true 2D layouts.

## Writing voice

- **Warm** — We speak in plain language — close to our customers, true to the local culture.
- **Confident** — We make promises we keep, and are honest about what we do and don't know.
- **Sharp** — Short sentences, clear ideas. Every word earns its place.
- **Optimistic** — We see the opportunity before the obstacle, and build tools that unlock the next step.

**Do write like this:**
  - "We empower merchants to grow digitally — with integrated management, payments, and delivery tools."
  - "We couldn't complete the payment. Try another card or contact us."

**Don't write like this:**
  - "The leading platform delivering an unparalleled shopping experience."
  - "An error occurred while processing your request. Please try again later."

## Logo rules

- Use `https://gini.iq/brand/gini-logo-black.svg` on light surfaces.
- Use `https://gini.iq/brand/gini-logo-white.svg` on dark/orange surfaces.
- Use the white wordmark on any orange fill (the orange accent dot on
  the standard wordmark would clash with an orange surface).
- For one-colour print, embroidery, or any surface where the brand
  orange accent would clash, reach for the mono variants:
  - `gini-wordmark-mono-black.svg` / `gini-wordmark-mono-white.svg`
  - `gini-monogram-mono-black.svg` / `gini-monogram-mono-white.svg`
- Minimum digital size: 24px wide. Never stretch, recolour, or add
  effects (shadows, glows, outlines).

## Mascot

GINI ships an official 3D mascot — a friendly orange-haired courier
character — in 42 ready-to-use poses under
`https://gini.iq/brand/mascots/`. Filenames follow the pattern
`NN-pose-name.png` (e.g. `01-front-view.png`,
`30-delivery-box.png`). Use it for campaigns, social media, blog
illustrations, and editorial content. Do not redraw, recolour, or
generate new poses with image models — use the official PNGs only.
