Stormning font

Extended information

This is a runic font made up mainly of Elder and Younger Futhark runes, with Dalecarlian (Swedish province) and Medieval Scandinavian runes as equivalents to latin characters that have no equivalents in the Elder and younger futhark runic alphabets.

The numbers are the Norse Pentimal system, which works quite similar to the Roman Numeral system.

The lack of punctuation marks is due to the lack of them in the original runic alphabets, as they only had equivalents to the comma (2 comma equivalents actually) and period. Co-designed with Mew Too.

Update: A couple fixes have been added, and several new weights have been added with matching Oblique Italics.

Stormning is a Runic font with Nordic runes from 4 Scandinavian alphabetic systems and 1 Scandinavian Numeral system that are used as equivalents to Latin Characters.

Most Characters are from the ancient norse Elder Futhark and later norse Younger Futhark runic alphabets, the other runes are from the later Medieval and Swedish Dalecarlian Runic alphabets.

The Numbers are the Norse Pentamal Numeric system, which works a lot like the Roman Numeral System.

There is almost no punctuation, as the Runes only had very limited punctuation.

The symbols that look like centered dots and Maltese Cross were both used as equivalents to commas, and the symbol that looks like a colon was used as an equivalent to the Period/Full Stop in the Latin alphabet.

As an equivalent to the at sign (@), the "A" and "T" characters were combined together as a ligature of sorts, but this was not used in the actual Norse alphabets, this was made up for this font as a way to add a minute bit of practicality to it.
