Actually, though Armenian has a lovely flair, you may also
want to look at Glagolitic script.  (Not to get too involved,
it was what Slavic folks got right before Cyrillic.  If this
were sci.lang I'd go into details but...)

Glagolitic _apparently_ had a neat way of adding vowels, as
extra strokes on the consonant letters...  which themselves
were very nice and ROUND.

My favorite book on this sort of esoteric Slavic stuff is
Ionchev and Ioncheva's "Dreven i suvremenin bulgarski shrift";
despite the Bulgarian text, most of it is pretty pictures of
font faces, both (ancient and modern) Cyrillic and Glagolitic.
