Designer's Notes

I created this font because I couldn't find an Elder Futhark Rune font that had all the features I desired.

The letters X and Q are not originally part of Elder Futhark so I added bindrunes for these letters that approximate their sounds. The NG and TH Runes are the ; and , keys respectively. The Spacebar creates a single dot that separates words, the Period key creates a double dot that looks like a colon and separates sentences and the / key creates a triple dot that can be used to separate paragraphs or as a flourish on the sides of titles.
