I wondered if the runes were taken from an Ultima game, but they don't match those in screenshots of Ultima V nor VI.

It's elder futhark, younger futhark and anglo-frisian runes. They are part of the Unicode spec:

I think the question is more where the specific pixelated glyphs for the runes were taken from.

Yeah, I played a lot of Ultima back in the day and I don’t recognize those. Doesn’t match Ultima III, for sure.
