Hi, David. I have looked, and I am happy with what I saw. So I wonder
if you might be bothered to create a Urianian rune font for me. They
should have an incised look, and not a pen-written look, preferably.

But recently I did some home archaeology and uncovered an important
find: a cursive version of the runes and some data about their
derivation from the incised ones. (Hi, Brittanie, are you reading
this?) I am considering having those made, too.

I used to think the Urianian runes were based on Greek characters,
and there are quite a few similarities to support this. But later I
have come to realise that there are no chances for any contact with
Greeks. But Phoenician is a possibility, so that is where I must look
for an origin, I reckon. They are too unlike Germanic runes for those
to be a source in my opinion.

Greetings,
