BabelStone Runic Staveless is a Unicode Runic font covering the 16 staveless runes of the Younger Futhark, also known as Hälsinge runes. In this font the staveless runes are mapped to the corresponding Unicode characters for the Younger Futhark, but ideally staveless runes should be encoded separate Unicode characters. The font is available in two styles:
These fonts do not map runic glyphs to Latin letters like most fonts, but use 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).
