I need a font to paint on a wall. It needs to look like Persian, but be subtle and readable -- with a bit of study -- in English. I will try to pass it off as a Tolkien, rune, or elven script. I would appreciate any suggestions or even break-through right-on insights.
So far, I'm going with Midjungards, which will do, but it hasn't the arcane look for which I am seeking. If I paint it loosely, adding a diamond between words to enclose space rather more evenly and bring the weight of words together, it might serve the purpose. I may even add a bar across the top of certain letter combinations to introduce a dash of the Persian script, or, being daring, add a bar across the bottom with certain combinations to resemble god-knows what? Increased complication? Any comments?
Sounds interesting but you need to upload some pictures. Right now I can't really imagine how it will look like.
Possibilities for selection:

http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=705 – Dingbats > Runes, Elvish fonts
Dafont is a known good site for free (gratis and libre) fonts if that's what you prefer.
