Type With an Elvish Touch

Immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings in Middle-earth, the Elves are a race unlike any other in Tolkien’s work. On the officially licensed Drop + The Lord of the Rings MT3 Elvish Keycap Set, we’re bringing their elegance and mesmerizing script to your keyboard. Instantly recognizable from writings on legendary items such as the One Ring, the script of Tengwar was created by the ancient Elf Fëanor and eventually replaced the runelike Cirth to become the text of choice for Elvish languages such as Sindarin: the language featured on this set. Designed by Matt3o in a subdued-green-and-off-white colorway, its ornate legends are faithful translations of corresponding Sindarin terms and Tengwar characters—and its durable, dye-sublimated PBT build ensures lasting brilliance with an exceptional feel. For those who need a guide, the Training Elvish and Elvish Ortholinear kits feature both Tengwar and traditional legends. For pure Tengwar, check out the Hardcore Elvish, Elvish Extras, Autumn in Rivendell, and Evenstar Kits.

Question
Why not have the elvish characters match up with the equivalents in our alphabet? What is the point other wise if they're going to be placed at random where they were thought to "look" best?

They weren't placed for show, they were placed to align with a specific Elven font for ease of typing. Matt3o has a few blog posts about his reasoning behind the character placement over on his site.Read More

Question
Couldn't they have made the legends transparent? Nothing says elvish like a bright light shining through the elvish text. They are double shot anyway -- for me this is a missed opportunity, and I don't like the color choices either.

They're not double shot, the ad copy is incorrect and they haven't fixed it everywhere yet. It's dye-sub. Making double shot molds for Elvish legends would make it prohibitively expensive.Read More
