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.

"You'd have to be a magician to read Trafalmagus!" - Brer Bripes

A font made to evoke magical talismans, wizards' engravings, Celtic/Viking wirecrafts, and all that good stuff! It has a pseudo-segmented display that draws lines between segments. It also slightly reminds me of the folk art which appears on crockery, earthenware bowls, etc.

The spacing is set so that 2 spaces is 1 letter's width. Use this to simulate a monospaced look when desired.

The lowercase looks like lowercase, but it is really an alternate set. This was designed to be written in one case at a time.

Original size: 8.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

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.

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 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)

These runes are my own personal creation, derived from Anglo-Saxon Runes, Germanic Runes, and Tolkien's Dwarven Runes, and the writing method was inspired by modern-day Korean. Accented letters (press Shift with the corresponding letter to use): C (Ch), D (Dh), K (Kh), N (Ng) R (Rh), S (Sh), T (Th), and Z (Zh). All other letters are lowercase.

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

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 a Clone of Sophistry Sans Modular. Yet another Runic Font, this time with a very modern twist. Wrought in mind for the 21st Century Heathen. Raise your Horns!!! Also, I can only be sorry for the leftover Latin letters, but as this is cloned I didn't really feel like opening each letter and deleting it... least not on this lap-top anyways! :D So always use this font WITH CAPS LOCK ON.This is a clone of Sophistry Sans Modular

A practical rounded rune font based on the New Futhork rune set. It uses a short-branch vowel system and includes all A-Z (with a handful of special characters), punctuation marks, the 'stan' rune, the 'wynn' rune and many more ;) Download if you dare to delve the depths of this forgotten way of writing...

A follow on from the 21st Century Futhork. You'll find a long branch set, as well as a short branch set, some numbers (1-5) and some punctuation :) If your a rune boffin and would like to know my reasonings behind some of the runes I'd be glad to let you know ;) Enjoy!

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)

Celtic knotwork in an insular style. Based on lettering from the Book of Kells. Some alternates in the lower case, some ligatures in the "More Latin" set, and a "construction kit" on ~ so you can create your own knotty fonts :-) UPDATE June 3 2010: Removed some artefacts from the 'E' and 'e'. Please re-download.This is a clone

A pixel insular, based partially on the script in the Book of Kells. Would work well as the GUI font for an old-school fantasy game. The upper case contains the regular old-timey forms; the lower case, more modern/readable forms for today's audience. This is the basis for a much more exciting font, to be released soon :-) (This is a work in progress)This is a clone of Knots

This is a font of Viking Runes. I believe the ones I Cloned were Anglo Saxon. I'm not sure. Anyway, these are real runes except the puncuation. That is Latin, but I tried to make it look runic. What do you think?This is a clone of AlphaRune
