Where it works

At 6 rows it reads as a banner without taking over the message it sits in.

About 1.2 columns per character, so a short word still fits a phone screen.

The elder futhark -- by Bryan Alexander

()

figlet release 2.1 -- 12 Aug 1994

This font consists of the runes in the elder futhark. It is accurate as

far as I know. Any corrections, or ideas on improving the font's appearance

are welcome. Modifying this font is fine with me; please e-mail me the

result.
