I revisited my old Fuþark font I cut in 2013/14 and decided to give it a new presentation. I want to bring it back from the vault of my gallery.
And there's another reason: I decided to give the font a younger brother — Kanon — which will follow the traditional canon of the runes more closely and will be much more organic in nature.

This was a font design experiment in which I created a runic font optimized for the use in long passages. All runes were given a consistent and smooth design to avoid the introduction of holes or irregularities in texts. After looking back at it I can say that the experiment was quite successful and the font creates a uniquely homogenous texture unlike any other runic fonts I've studied.
