Hi, writing system nerd here. I'm curious as to where you got these runes from — they don't seem to be Elder nor Younger Futhark, nor Anglo-Saxon. Runes and shapes from different systems, locales and time periods appear to be mixed, some runes are duplicated and some are missing; it's a bit of a potpourri at the moment. It also looks like you invented a few runes of your own by flipping/modifying the existing ones? :D

Since you've chosen to base the legends on the Elder Futhark according to the OP, why not use XDA Canvas's runic kit as a reference? That one seems to have a pretty reasonable layout that's based on the Elder Futhark. It duplicates (W/V) and (K/C), but that's to be expected as those runes are commonly transcribed both ways (and there are only 24 runes in total anyway).

In the video I linked at the bottom of the IC, it is explained how two runes could be used to express how one letter sounds in modern English. Maybe I was wrong lol, I probably am. I was also mixing runes because I wanted to go with Younger Futhark because it was the runic alphabet used by the vikings but does not have enough characters to fill up the latin equivalents, therefore I was filling in with elder futhark. For consistency it might be better to go with all elder futhark. Thanks for pointing that out!

Lovely, possible to have runic equivalents for NorDe set? Kind of locked in for homogeneity with NorDe. Would love to have it all runic !

Skickat från min SM-G960F via Tapatalk

This was one of my concerns. I don't think it would be possible. MoQ is already going to be quite high because of the new molds and NorDe kits are already quite difficult to sell in the first place. Now that I think about it, it may just make sense to cut some of the keys with latin legends from the norde kit but still keep Æ, Ä, Ø, Ö, Å. That might be stupid but I'm just throwing ideas out there. Let me know if that makes sense.
I mean yeah, sure if that somewhere indicates that one will be able to rune out a whole NorDe keeb, would def. pay extra to have that possibility

I really like the Rune sub legends, looking pretty good! The full runes look a bit confusing and I am not as big as a fan, but can understand why people like them.
You have your opinion of course, but I never understood the confusion myself. Do a lot of ppl not touch type? Actually nvm... I guess touch typing isn't a requirement in this hobby.

Be constructive and keep your comments related to the set characteristics. Criticizing others is out of topic, in the thread, and the site.

Where did I critique anyone? I said he has his opinion and how I type is not a requirement. It wasn't sarcasm. Not seeing where I shot anyone down. Simply said I didn't understand why the mono was confusing to some. Which is ABOUT the mono legend set offered. And then even said I agreed fully with his opinion. Throughly confused... days ago might I add..

I'm looking at a possible stock N9 instead of ral 9004. Ill look at CC as well but I don't think it would fit too well, we'll see. I'm gonna do some comparisons when everything comes in. I'll make sure to post pics too

By any means, you should care for your design goals. Having compatibility with other sets is secondary, at best. Besides, my need is very egotistic, as I have this brand new Dolch set that has not seen the light since it was made, because I am a Swedish layout user and it is ANSI. But I really appreciate your helpful answer.

I still wanna check what it looks like with CC either way. I thought it was more of an olive color in the pictures.

This set might pair quite well with a certain Norwegian mountain-inspired keyboard I know... :D

I was also mixing runes because I wanted to go with Younger Futhark because it was the runic alphabet used by the vikings but does not have enough characters to fill up the latin equivalents, therefore I was filling in with elder futhark. For consistency it might be better to go with all elder futhark. Thanks for pointing that out!

I wouldn't approach making a runic keyboard layout as an attempt to write English using runes. Instead, you're making a keyboard layout for a different language and a different writing system, just using QWERTY as a starting point for the positions of keys. Therefore, it makes sense to include all of the characters used in that writing system, but there's no need to make digraphs like ᚴᛋ to emulate English X.

The visual style of the current rune legends is good. I'd just switch to Elder Futhark to avoid issues like this and provide a consistent solution (and also because people voted for it). I'd do this despite the Vikings' Younger Futhark being the main inspiration for the set.

Speaking of Younger Futhark, I noticed some issues with the spelling of the novelty legends:

Current legend
(wrong/missing underlined)
Corrected legendOld Norse wordYounger Futhark spelling
(reference)
Examples
(runic inscriptions etc.)
Remarks
ᛋᛁᚬᛋᛁᛦæsirąsiʀvideo
SlB 3
R in grammatical endings is spelled with ᛦ/ʀ (Yr) instead of ᚱ/r (Raido).
It is debatable whether æsir is spelled with ᚬ/ą or ᛅ/a, but ᚬ/ą appears to be more likely as the root word is nasal áss (ᚬᛋ/ąs).

Just Hel is encountered more frequently than Helheimr.
If you have trouble fitting this legend on the key, you can use ᚼᛁᛚᚼᛁᛘᛦ instead (without the ᛅ/a). This is also an acceptable spelling.

I havent gotten around to rendering it yet. I've had to pick up some more hours at work this week but what I have done os redesigned the runes to fit gmk spec. So when I do the renders with the new runes I'll try the icon mods.

Yeah. The set is like 80 percent ready but there is still stuff that needs to be ironed out and fixed. It'll be a couple months before the groupbuy starts and even then you have to wait until it gets manufactured.

Still a bit concerned about NorDe set on combination with Base, at this point NorDe has no double shot runic as 2nd base set or special characters as 1st base set. So in order to make it look good I would need to buy base+latin+NorDe and only use modifiers from base which seems like a waste. Is this something that is still considered ?

The first image in that article is completely inaccurate. As for pentimal, it was developed much later in history, and so it would be anachronistic to include it in a set that uses the Elder and Younger Futharks and is based around Vikings. Also, although those symbols may look the part, they aren't runic in nature.

Runic numerals don't really exist. The vikings usually spelled out their numbers (e.g. “five” instead of “5”). There's a certain type of numerals that was used together with runes later in history, but it's not runes per se. I think it's good as is, without the numbers, the rune legends just need to be updated to be more consistent, as mentioned previously.

I don't know if this has been addressed already in the thread, but could we also get a rune numbers for the top number row, or the rune numbers below the Latin numbers?

link to rune numbers: https://nordicwiccan.blogspot.com/2014/02/numbers-rune.html

Love the set so Far! can't wait for the set to go live!

The first image in that article is completely inaccurate. As for pentimal, it was developed much later in history, and so it would be anachronistic to include it in a set that uses the Elder and Younger Futharks and is based around Vikings. Also, although those symbols may look the part, they aren't runic in nature.

Runic numerals don't really exist. The vikings usually spelled out their numbers (e.g. “five” instead of “5”). There's a certain type of numerals that was used together with runes later in history, but it's not runes per se. I think it's good as is, without the numbers, the rune legends just need to be updated to be more consistent, as mentioned previously.

I noticed the Backspace; looks like a non-standard icon. Was this intentional?

At the time of making the renders I didn't have access to the correct icon so I had the smaller arrow from the text mods. I do have the correct icons now but I haven't updated renders until I finish color matching.

Hmm.. been asking my friends to fill out the IC form and all of the chose rune monolegends, was pretty confident it was gonna be the majority. But since it was the complete opposite. Will rune monolegends be added as a choice separated from the base kit? Also because alpha monolegends is a choice separated from the base kit. Even if it's not included with the base kit I'd love to have the option to get the rune monos separately. I really feel it goes with the whole norse theme.

man i had selected sub-legend in the IC form but while browsing just a few minutes ago i realized how much i liked the mono. the mod color in the new renders is interesting albeit not as desirable personally. GLwGB!

I'm glad the sublegends are more popular as thats what I prefer but just wondering if the size of the sublegends will be the same as the Latin Characters like in the new render? I think it looked a bit better in the previous render where they were slightly smaller.

Also do you have a photo of the modifier colour wheel? would be interested to see what it looks like

Sublegends are a dealbreaker for me. GL!

Hopefully we'll see rune mono legends in KAT soon.

The mod color was originally RAL 220 20 10 in the renders. I was using a Hex equivalent from RALs website but then realized it way darker than excepted in real life. 220 20 20 is definitely the color I want for this set. The compression really doesn't help either and makes it look more blue than indigo despite in blender it matched perfectly to what my eye saw.
