I am assuming that the example of a «heavy Latinized» Armenian typeface as shown is being treated as something open to question. But in that case, people are going to wonder why a close historical revival of Bologir should also be classed as something one might do before one «knew any better».
I think that the course being recommended is neither a slavish following of the most popular foreign model, or remaining bound to traditional historical forms — but instead drawing on historical forms creatively, and being open to a wider range of foreign influences.
But this wasn’t mentioned, and this alternative won’t immediately occur to many readers without a typographical or other artistic background. Instead, they may just see rejection of the two most obvious choices, and end up being baffled as to which side you’re on.
