Now in 2025.
Armenian languages is included in Orach Technic Pro version 6.322

Alphabet "Orach Technic Armenia" is created with three styles Thin, Light and Regular
fully compatible with Orach Technic Pro font and complet Unicode list 0530-058F.
How it looks in the Window 10 operating system if Armenia language is selected, see here.

Why did we leave this important cultural alphabet as the last alphabet after 35 years of work on the Orach Technic Pro font.
Roughly speaking, 8 billion people can write with 5,000 letters from our Orach Technic Pro font, and 8 million with Armenian.
But as soon as we finished Latin with 1487 characters, Cyrillic with 646, Greek with 386, Arabic with 227, Japanese with 213 characters
and Davangahari with which 720 million Indians write, as well as all necessary signs and symbols,
the first font we made in the same style as Orach Technic Pro is the Armenian font.

We started and left it several times in last 30 years, but it always required more time and more involvement,
It was simply not good enough for such an old culture.
Much has been fascinatingly written about this letter, all of which exists on the Internet and much of which can be easily found there.

Simply, a few important things about this language were always present in my memory.

First of all, the Armenian alphabet is one of the oldest unchanged alphabets after Greek, Chinese and some others alphabet.
At the time it was made, it dominated with its beauty and writing culture, so it was used by many other peoples.

Second, a beautiful monument dedicated to Armenian letters.

Third, the Armenian eternity sign, Unicode U+058D (֍ – Right-Facing Armenian Eternity Sign)
and U+058E (֎ – Left -Facing Armenian Eternity Sign)
are Wonderful signs that I incorporated into the font and slightly modified to fit better into the entire Orach Technic font family.
My proposal would be for the whole world to adopt these signs as a universal human sign,
of course with the note that it was originally an Armenian symbol.

Wax seal, in both versions it can serve many purposes.

And the fourth thing is also of a personal nature.
In the early 1990s, there was no internet and it was difficult to find information about various languages.
Through letters, I asked for and received and bought catalogs from the most important printing houses at the time
Adobe, Linotype, Berthold, Monotype, Bitstream, ITC, Letraset etc.,
but many languages could not be found there. I have never heard of Unicode nor was it mentioned anywhere in these catalogs,
and I decided to try to collect it myself, there are my old writings about it.

I wrote 100 letters to 100 countries, I addressed them to the national library of each country and put the capital of that country
because I didn't know the address. Today it seems funny but that's how it really was.
I remember that the secretary came back from the post office dissatisfied when she saw how much the shipment cost.

And what was the result of this.
The first and only letter I received was from Armenia. Hand written alphabet and newspaper sheet in an envelope.
For me, that was proof of the culture of a nation.
I am happy that I got to write this letter and to repay them in this way.
When making this letter I reviewed all the latest solutions from the most famous typographic companies and drew everything with my own hand,
without copying anyone, and everything in style with all the other letters of the Orach Technic Pro font.
I consider it suitable for school, technology and industry.

If something is written in the Orach Technic Pro font for example on English or Russian and continued to write with the Orach Technic Armenian,
it will look as if one person wrote it all in his good handwriting. That's the idea I was guided by when making this font.
This is especially important when learning new languages because all letters are made as single-line, the same size, and the same style in all languages.
