I designed this font based on the word 'Thunderous'. My thinking in how the word relates is due to the Norse God Thor. I then started to look in to old Norse culture, this got me interested in runes. So with deeper research in to the Futharks spawned this type.

This is a font inspired by pixelart and the nordic rune alphabet. Caps give you runes and the small letters describe what letter the rune is

Use it as you like, would be awesome if you credited me but you don´t have to. Free stuff for the people :D

Inspired by a Blackletter font in which I saw Art Deco qualities. The name comes from Norse/Viking mythology. It's great for headlines/titles and works nicely as majuscles for slab sans serif fonts.

No DL for this particular design but the initial font design will be tidied (has Latin & MoreLatin only) and made available before the end of next week.

In this font, every letter corresponds to the same-sounded rune in the Futhark. Uppercase for the Elder, lowercase for the Younger. Extras have been assigned to runes with non-english sounds. Thurisaz is Q, eihwaz is X, inguz is C, and jera is both J and Y.

After choosing the theme asymmetric my thoughts went straight to the face of odin,because of the eyepatch, and since odin was the one that gave the germanic tribes their characters (according to the mythology) the idea of basing this font on ancient norse runes was born. I really wanted that feel of rough, stone carved feel, straight lines were a priority, plus I really wanted to give it the sensation of eroded and old. The name futhark comes from the first six letter of the runic alphabet.

This font was created around the theme of DANGEROUS. Norse Runes and their links to ‘dangerous’ Vikings, Celts and Historic Warriors led me to create this font based on the angles and ‘sharpness’ of weapons and original runic alphabet shapes. The font is very readable but would probably only be used for a bold title for a book (including sub-titles) based on history or a poster for bands, events or even propaganda posters. Here is my blog: http://graphic-design-universe.tumblr.comThis is a clone

This was an experiment for the InlineComp, that I never finished. I'm not sure I will finish it, I just wanted to share this technique I found for making decorative serpents :) Please clone and explore (most letters are in the "runic" block of unicode)

The Yiistrohl adaptation of the Vahlduire alphabet, based on the symbols recorded and analyzed in Valduiri ruins on the Eastern jungle continent of Atiila. The alphabet is very different from english. Because of this, some symbols are paired with keys that have little similarity to the actual symbol. The following is a key to the symbols: English - Vahlduir

For all language lovers alike, here is the Norse Runes font! Note: You can only type in caps lock (there were no lower case) and there is no Q, X, or Y. Also, there is no Th and Ng (those are Nordic letters).

VIKING is a false-historical font evolving from Elder Futhark Runes. This runic typeface is based upon the ancient Germanic symbols later adapted by the Goths, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, The Third Reich, and within Fantasy genera, depicted as Dwarven Runes. ELDER VIKING is almost an exact interpretation of Elder Futhark plus a few extra characters corresponding as a best fit to the basic 26 upper-case Latin characters. MIDDLE VIKING is the second generation evolution Rune based upon Elder Futhark. Designed as a semi-cryptic, visually interesting type but intended to be almost-readable as a Latin equivalent (unlike ELDER VIKING), MIDDLE VIKING contains numeric runes and basic punctuation. YOUNGER VIKING is the third generation rune type which is a fully modern interpretation of Elder Futhark. YOUNGER VIKING, a.k.a. "SPACE VIKING" contains all upper and lower-case fonts as well as numbers and various punctuation.This is a clone of VIKING, ELDER Runes

This is the Elder Futhark. Because they are runes, it's not easy to map them to the latin alphabet. I tried to make it as logical as possible. Most of the runes are lower-case. Thurisaz is the upper-case of T, Eihwaz is upper-case E and Ingwaz upper-case N.

A mock run of a rune set I made to be a stand alone way of writing in runes today. Will come to boast all letters of the basic latin alphabet, as well as a few compound characters. I will stay true to old rune shapes, but where change in meaning seems reasonable I have done so. Enjoy! :)- Based on Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark, English Futhorc, Medieval Runes (short and long branch)
