Author's note

AngloSaxon Runes 1 by Daniel Steven Smith is a free runic dingbat font with a stark Anglo-Saxon voice. The letters are cut from heavy, angular strokes and sharp diagonal joins, giving the set a carved, early-medieval feel that reads more like marks incised into wood or stone than modern display lettering.

This free font fits projects that lean into folklore, historical fiction, fantasy branding, game title cards, book covers, and poster headlines where a rune-like script can carry the mood fast. It also suits short names, chapter openers, monograms, and emblem work, since the bold, stripped-down shapes hold their character best when used briefly and given room.
