This project is my attempt at creating a system of Germanic Runes which is capable of properly transcribing Modern English (c. 2024 AD). I have used the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc as the main base for this runic system, as it was used for writing a form of Old English. I have also borrowed some characters from Younger Futhark & Medieval Futhork to work around some of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc's phonetic limitations.

The purpose of this project is NOT to simulate what I believe any variant of the Germanic Runic systems would have naturally evolved into, had the Latin Alphabet not superceded them in usage; Rather, I have made this as an artistic exercise, & because it's FUN.
