Elvish fonts

Aug 14th, 2003 by Ned

elvish-name.gif
I was a serious Tolkien geek as a boy. Around sixth grade I taught myself the Elvish writing that Tolkien invented for the Lord of the Rings. In fact, he created both a language and a character set; these characters, you may recall, decorate the One Ring.

If you don’t mess with the actual Elvish language, you can just use the beautiful characters to spell out English words. It’s not that hard, but there are a few tricky bits to work out, so if you’re a sixth grade Tolkien geek you can feel pretty darn self-satisfied. It’s also turned out to be a useful life skill to have a private code in which to take notes. I never forgot my Elvish writing skills (that’s my name to the left) and still use them to this day. My graduate school notebooks, for example, were littered with sloppily lettered Elvish declarations like “I am so sleepy,” and “please let this class end soon.” Top secret stuff like that. Also, chicks dig it when you write their name in Elvish.

Given all this, I was pleased to see that someone has gone to the trouble of making an Elvish font called
Tengwar. Now if you’re itching to write your own powerful ring inscriptions, you know where to start.

    So is there any where where I can down load the fonts?

  2. on 15 Sep 2003 at 9:27 pm2Ned

    If you poke around Dan Smith’s Fantasy Fonts website (the one I link to above), you can find this page:

    http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4948/index.html

    It has all the fonts on it.

    This Elvish stuff keeps coming up, so I keep poking around, and I have to say that this is the best guide I’ve found yet: “Writing Quenya with Tengwar” by Per Lindberg [ http://www.forodrim.org/daeron/teng-que.pdf ]. It’s very comprehensive, and it’s available on the Forodrim site [ http://www.forodrim.org/daeron/md_teng_primers.html ]. As an added bonus, you can get the Swedish version. In fact, you should get the Swedish version so that you can still have the thrill of struggling to learn Elvish. Unless you already speak Swedish, of course.

    Hello! I have just recently seen the movie, The Return of the King. I think the whole trilogy is awesome! I am now going to read the books and be able to compare or pick up bits and pieces that was not shown in the movie. I’m so excited! I have been also searching on the web far too long on how to write my name in Tengwar Cursive and finally found this forum at last. I’m glad that I’m not alone in planning to get a tattoo of my own name printed in Elvish. Elvish is so cool! I’m just wondering if you could write “DENNIS” in Tengwar Cursive inscription for me and how is it pronounce in elvish language. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi There

    Hey, i am trying to get a tattoo in elvish. I want to say either “courage” or “strength and courage”, depending on how big it is. I am wondering, is it best to get it translated into elvish first (am I right that strength and courage is “polod ar huor”) or should I just write it in english using elvish transcript. Are you able to do the elvish script for me? Yo’d be my best mate?

    C

  52. on 13 Jan 2004 at 1:12 pm52Chris Richardson

    Hey, I’ve looked everywhere to download the Elvish fount, it’s been very boring and I spent three hours doing. I’ve done almost every search imaginable and came up empty-handed a look around and see Elvish writing on all sites but nowhere to downloaded from.
    It has been very long and very dull work trying to make one and I much rather just downloaded it. So for anyone can tell me where I might be able to find someone to download it from that would be pretty sweet contact me via e-mail at CMRichardson@Comcast.net thanks a lot, later

  53. on 14 Jan 2004 at 11:35 pm53Rob

    Hey Ned, can you write “This was a really bad idea” for me in Elf-ish? I know you’re busy and all, but I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

  54. on 15 Jan 2004 at 4:12 am54Audra

    Hello. In a previous post, someone named Crystal asked for the words: Faith, Hope and Love in elvish. Can you please forward them to me? I’d appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much!!

    Hy! Can you please send me the elvish script for fly imagine believe??? Thanks!!!!

  58. on 15 Jan 2004 at 2:44 pm58Damiana

    Uhhhh….Rob,I think that’s *Elfin,* not *Elf-ish.* Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “elfin magic”???? Though you’re probably not familiar with Tolkien’s more *obscure* works….

  59. on 15 Jan 2004 at 4:40 pm59Kali

    Hi….Like so many others I am going to get a tattoo in elvish writting, But I don’t know how to spell the words I am thinking of getting. PLEASE help me! Can you tell me how to spell:

    - Life
    - Follow your heart

    I can’t thank you enough! It means the world!

    I want my name in tangwar elvish. Could you please email me what it will look like? Thank you

  65. on 16 Jan 2004 at 10:58 pm65Ian

    Can you tell me if there are syntax irregularities between Elvish and English, ie can I just use the Quenya font, type my name (or whatever) and have a true translation, or are there idiomatic considerations?

    Thanks

    Ian

  66. on 17 Jan 2004 at 12:37 am66Ned

    There’s no simple one-for-one alphabetic substitution that represents Elvish. There are some subtleties. It’s not very hard, but it’s not easy, which is why a lot of people are frustrated trying to find a simple Elvish font. In fact, despite the fact that this thread was originally called “Elvish fonts”, I don’t know of any true font that treats Elvish properly. I show some of the issues on a page I wrote here:

    http://www.starchamber.com/paracelsus/elvish/how-elvish-works.html

    If you want me to write your name in Elvish, go to this page to see what to do.

  71. on 20 Jan 2004 at 5:02 pm71Sara

    Hello. I think it’s fantastic that you know how to write characters of a different language. However, the website I previously visited said that the language on the ring is not Elvish, but of Mordor, and Gandalf’s statement in The Fellowship of the Ring supports this. Is it true?

  72. on 20 Jan 2004 at 5:56 pm72Aja

    i think this so great. i’m a fanatic fan of LOTR. and i want to know how to write it. where can i find such a place?

    Hey, thanks so much for the translation of my sons name, Dartanyon, into Elvish. Living in New Zealand where the trilogy was filmed we have become immersed in LOTR culture and many people we know, including family, were involved in some aspect of it. We are going to incorporate the translation into a mural for him, it’s so beautiful, and when its completed I will be sure to send you a picture. Thanks again

  106. on 12 Feb 2004 at 11:27 am106JMike

    Whoa, Ned, here’s your chance to pull a real dirty trick.

    “Sure, this says Love Emma in tengwar.”

    (translation: “I’m with stupid” or something like that)

    Not that Ned would ever pull a dirty trick like that :) But Emma, surely you and Robert will want to do the research yourself rather than modify your bodies on the basis of what some blog-writing madman tells you?

    –JMike

    Hi:

    If you want me to write your name in Elvish, please follow the directions on this page:

    http://www.starchamber.com/paracelsus/elvish/tattoos.html

    If you just post your request here, it’s unlikely anyone will do the writing for you.

    -Ned.

    Hey,

    I feel really sily and I’m so sorry to bother you with a petty question like this but I’m starting to get desperate. I have worked out that the word ‘hope’ in elvish is estel(is that right?) and I have tried to work out from the appendices how this is written but I’m really not understanding it and I’m worried that even if I do eventually work it out I will probably make a mistake….so I thought I would ask an expert(notice the flattery?!). Would you please be able to tell me how to write it in tengwar?

    I will be eternally grateful.

    p.s great site,I loved the little story at the top!(ok that was probably too much but hey I threw caution to the wind!)

    Jessica Gooding

  129. on 29 Feb 2004 at 7:50 pm129sharon

    wow.
    all of a sudden, i feel very unoriginal and sheepish. unoriginal because i really want faith, hope, and love as a tattoo, and sheepish because there are so many people asking you…
    when you have the time, do you think you could send me FAITH.HOPE.LOVE?
    and props for knowing the language. i think that’s awesome.
    i feel daunted and don’t know where to begin even though i’d really like to learn, cáuse i don’t know where to start.
    anyways, thank you very much!

    can you transcribe my name”liza mae rendal” in elvish?

  136. on 03 Mar 2004 at 12:57 pm136Tara

    Oh Ned. Sometimes people who live their everyday lives doing their everyday thing, do not understand the impact they have on someones life. The name you sent me is the name of my little girl who was adopted two days after her birthday (on Valentine’s Day!) by another family that I chose myself. I always have her with me in my heart and now she and her beautiful name are on my foot. And no one has to know my secret. You may consider yourself a geek, I consider you a man with an amazing talent. Thank you for your time and talent.

  137. on 05 Mar 2004 at 8:42 am137Vinnell Pearce
