ABOUT
Over the past couple of years the digital experience team here at Sainsbury’s have been developing our design system Luna, and have been rolling it out across our digital products. It’s now in use across the majority of our customer and colleague digital experiences, including grocery e-commerce, apps, food to order, self scan in-store, self service store tills and our stock checker.
All digital products use the brand’s distinctive orange colour and Mary Ann typeface to create simple, modern designs, with components and tiles in white on pale grey. The design patterns and standards help make sure customers’ experiences are accessible to AA standard, specifically around type size, legibility, colour contrast – and consistently sized components provide touch friendliness.
The system is built in code to increase the efficiency of building our digital products, and allowing updates to be cascaded across multiple products as the system evolves. We also use the same design system across the Sainsbury’s Group. For Tu clothing, Texta typeface and petrol grey replace Sainsbury’s Mary Ann typeface and orange colour.
