The fonts

Sotak Book is the hand of the book, upright, as printed. Sotak Cut is the same signs as facets, for stone, wood, metal, engraving and fine-line tattoos: every Cut sign keeps at least one return stroke, so it can never be mistaken for straight-stroke runes.

Both are built from the same pen as every sign on this site.
