𐌲𐌿𐍄𐍂𐌰𐌶𐌳𐌰 (Gothic)

𐌰𐍄𐍄𐌰 𐌿𐌽𐍃𐌰𐍂 𐌸𐌿 𐌹𐌽 𐌷𐌹𐌼𐌹𐌽𐌰𐌼 … from the Codex Argenteus, the start of the Lord’s Prayer in Gothic script

A non-runic alphabet fairly recently developed by the Gothic missionary Ulfilas¹. Of all the Germanic peoples, the Goths have had some of the longest and closest relationships to the Latin world, and this script is another reminder of that mixture of cultures.

In Britain, it’s not a very common script. There’s not many reasons for locals to use it instead of Latin or Futhorc - but there are a lot of travelers and knights from those lands² who may know it and find it a useful way to write messages to each other.
