Litterae Ignotae Font
Author's note
Litterae Ignotae by WurdBendur is a free experimental brush script with cryptic, rune-like forms. Its pointed strokes change sharply in width and break into hooked, angular turns. The letters look hand-drawn yet deliberate, with an eerie calligraphic flow.
Fantasy game titles are its strongest setting, especially for invented languages and magical inscriptions. It also suits occult posters and atmospheric music packaging. In illustrated maps, the hooked marks can become mysterious signs carved into stone or brushed across old scrolls.

Description
A Lingua Ignota (Latin for "unknown language") was described by the 12th century abbess of Rupertsberg, Hildegard of Bingen, who apparently used it for mystical purposes. To write it, she used an alphabet of 23 letters, the litterae ignotae. [fom Wikipedia]
