I believe that the letters on the ring was Tengwar, or Feanor's Runes (still a form of runes). It depends on what you define as runes. You can say Runes being only Daeron's Runes, but then you have to problem that the Feanorion (sp?) Alphabet is much more likely to be described as Elvish Runes than Daeron's, as Daeron's is more commonly Dwarf Runes (Dwarrowrunes?).
