Are there any Dwarven runes designed for Golarion yet?

I've got some here.

I wanted some that would be familiar yet different enough. Suggestions? Comments?

You can always use the Elder Futhark (Norse runes), like many artists do. Another option is to use the Gothic Alphabet, although that might be better for the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. One last option is Cirth from J.R.R. Tolkien.

Tarren,

I think some letters are too similar to our western alphabet, and my own impression of how dwarven alphabet should look like is more similar to mr. Tolkien's vision and also the Dethek runes used in FR.

Yeah, I'm working on some of them.

One thing I've tried to do is make pairs of phonemes (sounds) that differ only by voicing (the vibration in the throat) very similar except for one slash. So, t/d, p/b, f/v, and s/z look similar to each other. It strikes me that dwarves would be very utilitarian in that way.

Thanks for the feedback.
