Q-Rune is a modular typeface built on a strict grid system, combining pixel-based construction with archaic, runic principles of form.
Inspired by visual anchors found in QR codes, early writing systems, and hard-edged urban lettering, Q-Rune prioritizes recognition over decoration. Its design relies on stable structural points and controlled internal noise, allowing letters to be identified instantly before their details are fully processed.
Rather than being scanned by machines, Q-Rune is meant to be read by humans. It explores the threshold between code and language, where symbols function as signals first and characters second.
Q-Rune is designed for titles, statements, and experimental typographic use, where form carries meaning beyond legibility.
based on the dwarvish script for dnd.
Q is a different symbol
non letter/number symbols are for adding flare to sentances
numbers are simple to understand, a line that goes halfway down is one and all the way down is two, after that its simple addition.

This is the alphabet for a worldbuilding project I'm working on. It needs the reference decoder (which has not been published anywhere) to be used properly/read. It is also unfinished, and I would like to improve some of the punctuation marks as I feel they don't match the rest of the letters (especially the quotation marks). Please give me feedback on this!
ELEPHANTSO is a sharp re-imagining of a handwriting style I have developed over the last few years. An alternative name is Gothin Nu Gothick. Other names include Fishbone and Skeleton Key. Enjoy and use responsibly.
A very tall, thin gothic font. It was made specially for Halloween, and will be perfect for spooky designs, but it'll work great for non-seasonal designs as well. It could also be said to resemble nordic runes, or to have a modern ethnic vibe.
This is my imagination of how Cyrrilic and Latin letters would look like if were more "runic".
Just to test out the font contructor, and being unable to find exactly what I needed, I decided to try my hand at the younger futhark!
Capital letters are the long-stave runes, while the lowercase letters are the short-twig runes. They were generally not used simultaneously, so pick one system and stick to it.
There are many repeated glyphs, and this is because of how the system works; there are several closely-related sounds that share a rune. K/G, F/V, B/P, to name a few. (and don't get me started on the vowels)
I tried to match the latin letters you're typing to whatever rune most closely corresponds to it... from a norse point of view? As these writing systems are not a 1-1 match, it won't be 100% accurate all the time, and I'm also an amateur hobbyist from Norway, but I tried my best with what I knew.
For example, while I used ár (ᛅ/ᛆ) for E due to its usage in the [ei] diphtong (eg. in names like Einar (ᛅᛁᚾᛅᚱ)), it has really no rune on its own, and can also be written with íss, the I rune.
Compatible with most extra letters used in Scandinavian languages and Old Norse, and not really meant for writing in modern English, where nothing is consistent at all.
Update, Oct. 3rd: Fixed the lǫgr (ᛚ) rune. It is no longer mirrored. Not sure how I managed to make that glaring error, and I apologise to the thirty people who already downloaded this.
