HTTYD custom font
Posted: 23 Jun 2019, 18:09
Introducing 'This is New Berk', a HTTYD font I created, inspired by the runes seen when Hiccup is reading from the Book of Dragons in the first film. Thanks to hictooth for compiling 'Berk', the original font, which I used as the basis for this one.
For authenticity, the runes were drawn with a Derwent black charcoal pencil.

Notes
—This font is in uppercase, meaning that it can only be seen in all caps. It doesn't have a lowercase version, because Viking runes don't have a distinction between large capitals and small capitals.
—The comma, full stop (period) and speechmarks were too difficult for me to draw correctly in the font creation tool I used (Calligraphr), so they look quite strange. I would suggest using an alternative font for those punctuation symbols. 'Standard Celtic Rune' seems to work fine. There are a few other symbols that I didn't include (such as @), but I can't remember all of them.
—I didn't include numbers, because the runic versions in 'Berk' were too hard for me to draw, so you will just have to type the number in its letter form — e.g. six instead of 6.
I think that's everything.
Enjoy!
