Author's note

Viking, Younger Runes by flansburg_design at FontStruct is a free runic display font with a stark, carved appearance. Tall, narrow signs dominate. Repeated parallel strokes, sharp turns, and open interiors give the alphabet the measured structure of inscriptions rather than conventional text.

Historical game studios and Norse-themed event brands could use it for title cards, merchandise, and signage, where its angular silhouettes immediately establish the setting. The rune forms also suit publishing about Viking subjects, turning cover lettering into part of the historical imagery.

VIKING is a pseudo-historical font derived from Elder Futhark runes. This runic typeface is based on ancient Germanic symbols later adapted by the Goths, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, the Third Reich, and fantasy genres as Dwarven runes.

ELDER VIKING is an almost exact interpretation of Elder Futhark, with several additional characters corresponding as closely as possible to the 26 basic uppercase Latin characters.

MIDDLE VIKING is a second-generation rune typeface based on Elder Futhark. It is designed to be semi-cryptic while remaining nearly readable as a Latin equivalent, unlike ELDER VIKING. MIDDLE VIKING includes numeric runes and basic punctuation.

YOUNGER VIKING is a third-generation rune typeface that provides a fully modern interpretation of Elder Futhark. Also known as “SPACE VIKING,” it includes uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and various punctuation marks.
