Author's note

Dwarf Runes 2 by Daniel Steven Smith is a free runic dingbat font with a carved, Nordic look. The letters read like chiseled marks from stone or wood, built from sharp diagonals, forked branches, and blunt wedge endings that keep the whole set feeling stern and ceremonial.

This free font fits fantasy maps, game logos, album art, poster titles, and chapter openers where you want an old-world, clan-bound mood rather than ordinary lettering. It also works well for short headlines, monograms, and title cards, because the angular runes carry enough visual weight to feel emblematic even in just a few characters.
