Check a tutorial / video guide in the ''Video Demo'' above.
Real Runes is a growing library of symbols and glyphs.
They can be added to any curve with one click.

- Press 'Apply Runes to selected curve'
- Choose your desired Rune category and Rune Type
- Iterate and style your Runes with various parameters
Naxi Dongba pictographs
Real Rune has currently 80 Rune types. Some Rune types such as 'Naxi' contain more than 1000 pictographs.
Historical - for a touch of realism
Magical - for spells and sigils
Latin - for writing custom, readable text
Fictional - for inspiration and fan art
Read the 'Real Runes - Font Guide and Sources' included in both free and paid versions to check all available Rune Types and their histories.
Easy customization:
Being powered by Geometry Nodes means customization is quick and easy. Runes can be extruded, smoothed, beveled and more straight from the add-on / modifier.
To install or not to install
If you love add-ons, great! Install Real Runes and use it like any other add-on. Don't want another add-on? Super, append the node group and use it like any other Geometry Nodes asset
