Runes are exclusive to no race. The Elves, as I recall, still use runes to write out their language. Dwarves of course use runes. Contrary to what people say, runes do NOT last longer---the defining mark of a rune is that it's made up of almost all straight lines. Runes are easier to CARVE into surfaces, making them ideal for stonework or use on other hard materials.

Runes are NOT exclusive. Case closed. They are not merely used by Dwarves. If you remember, the West Gate of Moria had runes that read something along the lines of "I, Narvi, made this door. (I'm not certain, but I believe that this is right) Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs". This proves (Since the message on the door was written in ELVISH RUNES) that multiple races used runes, at least in the S.A.
