Recreation of the pixel font from Graftgold/Hewson Consultants' "Ranarama" (1987) on the ZX Spectrum.
This recreation includes the handful of futhark runes used in the game, though one of the runes appears to be made up.
The same font is used in the Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 ports, though the runes are slightly different.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
ᛜThis is an elder futhark set of runes included reversed runes and numbers. For reversed rune press Shift. Here goes the layout on keyboard.

RUNE GUIDE
Runes are used phonetically, so most of the time you should shorten double-letters to single-letters ("Hello" would become "helo"). All the appropriate runes are bound to the appropriate keys, so you can type freely without worrying about which rune you're using. However, a few runes which represent diphthongs which are unused in Modern English are bound to the SHIFT-number row. They are as follows: !-th, @-eo, #-ng, $-ɶ, %-æ, ^-ia/io, &-ea, *-kk. (-st. Additionally, in Old English, there are two types of "g"s, a soft "g" (which is bound to the "g" key), as in "sage", and a hard "g" (which is bound to the ")" key), as in "saga".
Keys 1-7 also include the different Roman numerals (I, V, X, L, C, D, M), which can be combined to make up a number (from what I can tell, the Anglo-Saxons probably used Roman numerals or tally marks - most likely the former).
A Note From The Author:
Totally based on the LOTR translations of the Runes.
Tolkien did take some liberties in his books. (P and J for example)
CAPS is the standard, LowerCase are the Combos
Probably should switch that, let me know if that is what you want.
Upper and Lower case seems redundant so I have incorporated the letter combos into the lowercase alphabet.
It would be nice if this became a standard.
Numbers came from Stargate Universe and seemed appropriate and easy.
Other Lowercase Features:
+ is a Double Letter Indicator - Cutting is a lot of work
a is the 'Oak' A
b is the 'Tolkien' B
c is CH
d is ND
e is EA
f is EE
h is SH
k is CK
n is NG/ING
o is OO
t is TH
s is ST
