#rumil — Public Fediverse posts

Tolkien created about a dozen script systems. Some were extensions of preexisting scripts (mostly runic), while others were completely made up.

The Alphabet of Rúmil is obviously heavily inspired by the Devanagari and/or traditional Mongolian. Tolkien had studied Sanskrit in Oxford.
A 'good' Font with glyphs from the Alphabet of Rúmil is needed.

@iorsh Tolkien did not write that the boustrophedon writing was used with the Alphabet of Fëanor.
That writing was used with the First Elvish Alphabet, the Rúmilian.

A 'good working' Font of the Alphabet of Rúmil is also needed.
