Variable typeface — Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian

Ardica

Ardica is a variable typeface family that takes the plasticity of Armenian letterforms and carries it into Cyrillic and Latin.

Most multi-script typefaces bend their "minority" script to fit Latin or Cyrillic conventions; Ardica inverts that hierarchy, making Latin and Cyrillic letterforms plastically subordinate to Armenian letterform logic instead — carried consistently across all three scripts by its variable weight and width axes.

Designed as a text face, it also works well as display type.
