One column is labeled "Codex Letters" and the other "Gotland Runes." I will assume (and we all know what that means) that the Gotland runes are for carving into wood or stone, while the codex letters are for writing on some paper-like substrate. I would also guess that the codex letters will eventually develop rounded corners from repeated writing. --Ph. D.
