Wigstan Runic is a basic runic font designed for teaching handwriting.

Apart from the entire Unicode Runic block, it also contains a wide variety of bindrunes for the Anglo-Saxon rune row plus the famous "lantern" rune of Elder Futhark.

As the first font released by Rune Revival, its non-runic characters are mostly borrowed with permission from the font Catrinity. From a technical perspective, it also follows Catrinity's lead by using 'rlig' encoding (rather than 'ccmp') for creating bindrunes. That can mean some older software won't support them.

Known bug: Typing ᛁᛡ causes a display error.

Will this bug be fixed? Yes, in a later version.

Workaround solution: Type the ZWJ (bindrune key) between ᛁ & ᛡ to prevent the error from displaying.
