A complete reference for the visual identity, voice, and pattern system. Built around a single alif mark, two committed colors, and one signature texture.
and all expressions of the Aykiz Intelligence brand.
A small book
about a quiet
identity.
Aykiz Intelligence is named after a daughter. The brand carries that intimacy: it is warm where it can be, and exact where it must be. Black ink. Cream paper. A teal pattern that softens the whole thing.

One mark.
One stroke.
The Aykiz mark is a single alif — the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, and in Latin reading the letter I — drawn as one tapered stroke with a tittle floating above. The stroke carries a slight humanist entasis and a pen-cut top; the teal tittle is the device that resolves it as an I and binds the whole mark into one glyph.
Give it room to breathe.
The clear space around the mark equals the height of the tittle (the small circle). Nothing — no type, image, or graphic — may enter this zone. When the mark is reduced, this rule still holds.
The mark, with words.
Below 24px, drop the wordmark and use the mark alone. Below 16px, drop the tittle.
Please don't.
Treat the mark as a fixed asset. These are the most common ways to break it.
Two colors,
one accent.
Black ink and warm cream are non-negotiable. Teal is the only accent — it appears as a flat fill, as a pattern, or as a subtle support. Never invent a fourth color.
The Crackle.
Aykiz uses a single, signature pattern — a teal canvas crackle, hand-rendered. It is the brand's quiet warmth: never a frame, never decoration, always a ground.
One serif.
One mono.
Two families. EB Garamond sets the entire voice, from display to body. It is a book face. Three centuries of literary use, no startup-decade tells. JetBrains Mono carries numbers, codes, and metadata.
We speak
plainly.
Aykiz is a small word, almost a whisper. The brand should sound the same way: short sentences, soft verbs, no superlatives. We never say "revolutionary." We say "new."

Ready when you are.
To whom it may concern,
Aykiz lives on your phone first. It works offline, remembers what you pin, and forgets what you don't. There is one button. There is no settings page.
A warm color.
The rest is restraint.
