What did you have in mind?
Cyphermage is based around runes and glpyhs but mechanically has more to do with scrolls.
Pathfinder Savant also has a very limited amount of focus on glyphs and runes, too.

Yeah, but that one's based on an entirely different magic system and spell list. It might translate just fine to a normal wizard's spell list and spells per day, but you'd want to look at that closely, because some of those rune-based abilities are pretty potent.
I haven't tried it yet, but the tattooed mystic prestige class looks really awesome. The runes in this case would be tattooed on the mage's skin, but IMO that's even cooler :) It totally makes me think of Haplo and the Sartans from the Death Gate Cycle.
You could also resurrect the Inscribe Rune feat from 3.5 (and get rid of the divine-only restriction), and maybe see if you could work with your GM to make an archetype or prestige class designed to focus on runes--maybe trade your normal school specialization for the ranger trapper archetype, to mimic the ability to create rune-based traps. Or, if your GM's really nice, he'll let you somehow learn glyph of warding as an arcane spell, to increase the amount of useful rune-based magic you know.
And of course, you can always describe your spellcasting as requiring you to draw runes or have your spells create runes as special effects. Flavor is everything, really.

Anyone has any suggestions for a wizard specializing in runes and glyphs?If you're looking to adapt 3.5 material, I'd suggest picking up the Warcraft D20 supplement More Magic and Mayhem. It had an Arcanist specialisation called the Inscriber which uses the runes and glyphs of the more monk/shamanic type Runemaster which is in the same volumne.
Have this. I was working on a few inscriber conversions. It would be nice to write one up in my adventure, hmm . . .
Rune Wizard in the Scarred Lands series by White Wolf. It's a PrC iirc and might be lurking on the net.
