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.
there is no C, you have to replace this with S or K depending on the sound,
same thing for the V, W or F
and the Y, I, J or IJ
in origional futhark there is no Q or X, these are made here by Q=K+U and X=K+S
numbers 1-9 are good 0 gives 10
as there is no 0
shift+1to0 gives 11 to 20
I added a dot and a double and tripple, hiden under . : and ; I have seen them on markings but Im not sure of there use yet.
the ng rune is located under ñ (altgr+n)
th is under þ (altgr+t)
ï is under æ (altgr+z)
have fun
I just found out the concept of BindRunes I will try to add those to the list too, not sure how yet. but I will
uppercase will give bind runes, if the previus ends in a | then you and the next starts with a | you can merge them.
A pixel-style Elder Futhark runic font (plus a few non-Futhark symbols). WORKS BEST IN ALL CAPS -- lowercase characters bring up smaller runes or alternate rune forms. Please see comments for more info.
This is a cloneRecreation of the runic pixel font from Origin Systems' "Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny" (1988).
Ultima's runic alphabet contains a character for each A-Z letter of the latin alphabet. In addition, it has compound characters for specific letter pairings which, unfortunately, cannot be set up in a TrueType font (you'd need OpenType for these custom ligatures, I assume). As these characters (with one exception) lack an appropriate unicode point, they have been added here as follows (to unicode characters that at least visually appear close enough): "ee" 'currency sign' (U+00A4), "th" 'capital thorn' (U+00DE), "st" 'bowtie' (U+22C8), "ng" 'tifinagh letter yag' (U+2D33), "ea" 'vai syllable ta' (U+A55A).
As in the game, "space" between words uses a middle dot, and the full stop/period uses a symbol resembling a staff of aesculapius.
Only the characters present in the game's runic character set have been included.
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 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!
