BabelStone Runic Dotted

Description

BabelStone Runic Dotted is a Unicode Runic font covering the Scandinavian Pointed Runic Alphabet, also known as dotted runes, as well as various other medieval runic letters, in total 37 runes.

This font does not map runic glyphs to Latin letters like most fonts, but uses the special Runic characters defined in the Unicode Standard. See How to Input Unicode Ogham for suggestions on how to input Unicode characters (just substitute "Runic" for "Ogham" on that page).
