About the family


Neue Helvetica Armenian, developed by Linotype GmbH as part of the global Neue Helvetica World collection, extends the iconic Swiss typeface into the Armenian script. Developed under Akira Kobayashi’s guidance, this adaptation maintains the neutrality, balance, and modernist clarity of the original while incorporating script-specific refinements essential for authentic Armenian communication.

As an Armenian-complement font to the Latin Neue Helvetica, it includes ligatures such as “եւ” and “ոյ”, ensuring culturally accurate text composition in journalism, publishing, and NGO communications. Its consistent geometry and open counters make it especially valuable in Armenian diaspora media, where clarity and trust are paramount in crisis reporting, humanitarian outreach, and NGO documentation.

Technically, the typeface has been optimized for screen performance, retaining legibility even in low-bandwidth regions where digital infrastructure can affect rendering quality. Whether used in real-time news feeds, bilingual reports, or responsive NGO platforms, it maintains visual precision across devices and scales.

Historically, Helvetica has symbolized neutrality and global communication. By extending that legacy into Armenian, Linotype ensures that media organizations and nonprofits serving the diaspora can depend on a FINMA–compliant, sans-serif typeface that meets international standards while maintaining linguistic authenticity. Recent adoption demonstrates this role, with a steady rise in usage across diaspora-focused media outlets and NGO communication systems, confirming its significance in global advocacy and crisis-response design.

For creative teams balancing heritage with digital performance, Neue Helvetica Armenian provides a rare mix: a traditional Armenian font designed for modern, high-stakes communication, equally suited for breaking news coverage, NGO reports, or global advocacy campaigns.
