Author's note

Dwarven Runes by Dragon's Den Typefoundry is a free rune-inspired display font whose near-uniform strokes build geometric letters from chevrons, bars, partial circles, and abrupt changes of direction. Split bars and open triangles suggest an invented script.

Game interfaces are the clearest home for this coded lettering, especially on faction screens and puzzle menus, and the same severe geometry also suits fantasy publishing, music posters, and role-playing merchandise. The repeated chevrons and split forms can echo imagery of mountain peaks, forged metal, circuit paths, or markings on a fictional artifact, so the text becomes part of the imagined world.
