Meet the Armenian

‘Meet the Armenian’ Lecture: Typographic Circle November 2005. The Typographic Circle is a British organisation of professional graphic designers, typographers and type designers. Present Chair: Bruno Maag of Dalton Maag, a well-known design company. This talk was a 45-minute presentation which explained the importance of the Armenian alphabet to the Armenian diaspora and the literature and therefore culture of the country. It introduced the audience to the alphabet’s forms, history and development and showed many examples of the myriad ways the alphabet is used today – using illustrations which were Carolyn Puzzovio’s own photographs taken during her visit to Yerevan in October 2005.
