About
Based on lettering created by Armenian type designer Henrik Mnatsakanyan (1923–2001), Bardi takes its name from the Armenian word for 'Poplar'. Its tightly compressed letterforms echo Neo-Classical faces and the magazine typography of the 1950s and 60s. Intended for advertising, display settings, magazine headlines and logos, the family is currently available in a single Regular style.
