Bosla

Bosla — بوصلة

بوصلة — a direction company. Brand and technology identity for founders who need to know where they're going before they move.

The question before the work

Most agencies open with “what do you want?” bosla opens with a different one:

“إحنا مش بنسألك عايز إيه — بنسألك رايح فين.” We don’t ask what you want. We ask where you’re going.

Every client arrives with a problem, not a request. bosla diagnoses first, sets direction second, builds third. Not a media company. Not a software company. A direction company — and the two arms (Creative Direction and Technology Solutions) are one identity, not two departments bolted together.

Two arms, one direction

  • Creative Direction — narrative before the camera. Brand identity, positioning, voice.
  • Technology Solutions — logic before the code. The systems that make the direction real.

The enemy isn’t competitors — it’s blind execution: motion without direction. Most people are moving. Few know where. bosla is for the few.

The identity, executed

A restrained visual language built on restraint itself: Bosla Black (~70% of every surface), Electric Blue used only for display and graphics — never body text — and Bone for logo and primary type. Video and Sheershak for display type (EN/AR), Cairo for body. No gradients, no gold, no literal compass icon, no stock photography, no bounce in motion — only a settle: a needle finding its heading and stopping.

The north star doubles as the brief’s own filter: does this help the client know where they’re going, before they move? If not, redirect before shipping.
