Is the Icelandic translation at the bottom correct?

This is my first post on TypeDrawers and I do apologize if I'm posting in an incorrect category. I'm completing my first font and wanted to add Icelandic characters. The image below is one of my display pages. Could someone here who is a native speaker read the bottom line that is supposed to be a translation of "A font in love with a beautiful language." The text below reads, "Leturgerð sem er ástfangin af fallegu tungumáli." Thanks everyone!

    I'm guessing this post is not really the right question for this group. Sorry about that. I did get an answer over in a Reddit group that helps people learning Icelandic so my question was answered there.

    It’s a reasonable question to ask here, and it’s nice to see your typeface. I don’t think there are any native Icelandic regulars on TypeDrawers though.

    Can't say anything about the translation, but I noticed your Þ maybe looks a bit too plain compared to the other capital letters. Maybe something along these lines?

    Thank you everyone for your comments. Sorry I didn't respond until now. I thought I would get an email notification when someone gave feedback but I guess that doesn't happen.

    Thank you Jens. My Thorn does look like it belongs to a different font. Here's a screenshot that starts with my old Thorn design, new Thorn design, and uppercase letters of my font. I've read that the bowl size of the Thorn should match the P. If you saw this newly designed Thorn, would you recognize it as a Thorn? Thanks for suggestions.
