The ancient runic alphabet used by Germanic and Scandinavian peoples, named for its first six letters (Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kenaz).
Named acrostically from its initial runes: F-U-TH-A-R-K. This alphabet was used from roughly the 2nd century CE until the medieval period and survives in historical and modern esoteric contexts.
The Futhark is essentially a secret code that worked—Germanic tribes used it for centuries, and modern people are still fascinated by it, using it in everything from fantasy novels to actual historical research, making it one of history's most persistent writing systems.
