A Blackletter Runic font based on the New English Runeset. Much runes here, plenty for enthusiasts! *A NOTE ON PUNCTUATION: ? = runic initials 'F'+'T' for 'Freyntoeken' (means 'inquisition token/sign'), ! = 'A'+'B' for 'Autberstoeken' (means 'outburst token/sign'). & = 'et' and harks back to the traditional Latin ligature. However a purist justification can be than it is infact a contraction of 'unt(and)' - still commonly used throughout Northern England (home of Old English scripture) in the form of 'un'. The number of dots for the various clause seperators indicates duration of pause.

Fantastic, clearly a lot of thought went into this (I especially enjoy the English names for punctuation).
