Google Fonts · Google / Monotype · 2014
A clean, functional Noto font covering Runic script for Unicode-compliant rendering of historical Germanic inscriptions.
About
Noto Sans Runic provides digital support for the Elder Futhark and other runic alphabets, enabling historians, linguists, and enthusiasts to typeset ancient Norse and Germanic texts accurately. The design is deliberately neutral and modern rather than decorative or evocative of runic carving traditions. It is best used in academic and archival contexts where correctness and cross-platform compatibility matter more than atmosphere.
Classification
A Noto family extension covering Runic script — the ancient Germanic writing system used across Northern Europe — with clean, neutral strokes designed for readability on screen. Consistent in weight and proportion with the wider Noto sans-serif system.
