      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=67e5813a&id=1921038&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p>Just to test out the font contructor, and being unable to find exactly&nbsp;what I needed, I decided to try my hand at the younger futhark!</p>

<p>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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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)</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
