I was trying to find the translation of the following inscription:

But the Tengwar fonts I find online look slightly different. Can someone point me at which alphabet this is using? Thanks!

Looks like something tengwar inspired, but doesn't look like quenya or sindarin tengwar at all. Where you get that from, may I ask?

I did it years ago. I had painted it on a wooden rennfest sword for my daughter. I thought I had written "Blue Storm" ("luin alagos" maybe?), but when I went to look up the translation recently (so I could paint a similar one for my younger daughter), I couldn't find where I'd gotten those characters from. I do remember doing a lot of hunting around for the words and letters, though. unsure.gif

I could just use the Tengwar I've found online, but I kind of wanted them to use the same alphabet, even though I'd write something different on the 2nd blade.

Yeah, I don't see any vowels marked out on that passage you posted, and some of the symbols seem borrowed from elsewhere, such as the last marking which appears to be a sideways punctuation from this dude's interpretation of the Adunaic alphabet:
