The Ormulum used a unique orthography which combined elements both of Old English and continental writing traditions to render Orrm's local dialect.
These fonts are used to render Orrm's orthography. Since Orrm had a larger alphabet than in Modern English, some letters are represented with top-row characters such as numbers and other common symbols.
