Runes? I'd think the shapes rather too curvy to be much good for carving.

The shapes you see in that gif do have a certain angularity owing to my
imperfect computer graphics skills; they do look more cursive when I draw them
by hand (you may note each can be drawn without lifting your pen). I should be
able to give them a softer look in the gif, but when I made it I was more
concerned with getting the basic shapes across than the aesthetics.
