Discover Tolkien Fonts
Have you ever noticed some of the fine detail found on "Lord of The Rings" book covers, items in computer games and in the lotr movies. Often those items are inscribed with runes in certain languages like elvish, dwarvish or the black speech of Mordor.
The most memorable item with runes has to be the one ring, when Gandalf throws it into Frodo's fire and then retrieves it from the heat. All of a sudden a red flowing script appears with the phrase of the one ring. In the folowing video clip you will see and hear an example of the ring verse in black mordor speech.
