Gothic / Blackletter Tengwar Calligraphy

A Gothic or Blackletter style of Tengwar: sample image
The Tengwar, Psalm 117(KJV)

This blackletter style is the same as is used in the background of this page. The stem is essentially unchanged, but the bow is drawn as a straight line and a squiggly curve looking a bit like the letter yogh (Ƞ or ȡ)(rotated 180° for the second two columns). Decorative strokes are added. This method is uniform for the first six rows. In columns 1 and 3, for letters in which the stem does not descend, a decorative serif is added at the bottom if the stem.
