About Ongunkan Ogham 4 Font Family


This font is a Latin-based, Unicode version of a variant of the Ogham alphabet used to write the Old Irish language. It can be used on Latin keyboards and Ogham virtual keyboards.

Ogham (/ˈɒɡəm/ OG-əm, Modern Irish: [ˈoː(ə)mˠ]; Middle Irish: ogum, ogom, later ogam [ˈɔɣəmˠ]) is an Early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the Early Irish language (in "orthodox" inscriptions of the 4th to 6th centuries AD) and the later Old Irish language (the scholastic ogham of the 6th to 9th centuries). There are about 400 surviving orthodox inscriptions on stone monuments in Ireland and western Britain, the largest of these in southern Munster. The largest number outside Ireland is in Pembrokeshire in Wales.

The vast majority of inscriptions consist of personal names.

According to the High Medieval Bríatharogam, the names of various trees can be assigned to separate letters. For this reason, the ogam is sometimes known as the Celtic tree alphabet.

The ogam or ogham The etymology of the word remains uncertain. One possible origin is from the Irish og-úaim 'point seam', referring to the seam formed by the tip of a sharp weapon.

About Runic World Tamgacı

As my interest in runic scripts increased, it became imperative to make my own fonts. It was time to put all these years of hard work into flesh and blood.This foundry, with the name of runic world tamgacı, has been prepared as a platform to distribute font works developed on Old European Runic inscriptions, Old Asian Runic inscriptions, Old Hungarian Runic inscriptions, Runic inscriptions found in Africa and Arabian geography, and italic inscriptions such as Etruscan and Iberian. With new additions, the inventory of the foundry will be constantly updated and expanded. These Runic studies were made from scratch by looking at the relevant sources.
