Hi all

Wanting to write some elvish script on my isengard banner as in the books it said Saruman used elvish...

Any idea which font he used?

thanks

PS, speedy answer appreciated... I'd like to get the banner complete over this weekend :)

Read the wikipedia article on "tengwar", and try some of the links at the bottom:

You can look at some of these - or even add them to your computer / tablet / smartphone / abacus: http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html

Far too late for your banner, of course, but he used the Cirth, not the Tengwar. And if I could find the reference I would, but I THINK it's in the Treason of Isengard. I remember an image of the S as a kind of angular C, sometimes with a curly bit on the lower arm which makes it more like an S.
