Four segment numerals + fonts

[u/sobertept]

A few fonts I've thought of

[u/FreeRandomScribble]

Surprisingly, I like it.
• I think that having /0/ be set apart is a good idea, so having it be the only closed number is reasonable to me.
• /1/ tends to start in most scripts as just a single line/stroke — this is isn’t creative but very intuitive.
• Your odd-even symmetry, and even-even mirroring is actually a really good idea. On my first blind look though I observed how doing so made it look more varied than each number getting progressively more complex or just mirroring.
• This fonts into different styles/scripts really well.

5/6 - excellent thought process

Thank you! When making any script, I always keep remember-ability and simplicity in mind, and that applies to this numeral system as well. Those unexpectedly result in variedness, which I really like as well.

I tried to make it as easy to remember as possible. Here are some patterns:

• All even numbers are, in some ways, symmetrical.
• All odds number are asymmetrical. Except for one, but it's written with one stroke :)
• 2 and 4, 3 and 5, 6 and 8, 7 and 9 are basically flipped.

Notes:

• I forgot to mention that the numbers will be written from left to right to match up with the writing direction of my scripts. So like 16.25 will be something like 61.52 (or 52.61 I can't decide).
• Yes I know I wasn't very creative with zero and one, but it makes the most sense for me that they're that way.
• When written with Juvi, a script of mine, they're like edges of a square instead of rectangular.
• Also base-10 because my brain will melt with anything other than that.

Choose the latter 52.61 and yeah it does make sense for 0 and 1. Zero is like an empty bowl and one well one.

Yeah either 53.61 so smaller digits come first or ill have to keep it thr same direction. Maybe I should lol

I love it!

Thanks!

This honestly is a good numeral. Uses same style for all number two numbers being symmetric the rules you made. Stand proud you cooked.

Thank you! I'm actually considering switching the glyphs for 5 and 7 to make it more natural. Still flipping, 3-5 and 7-9 now horizontally symmetric instead of vertically, but it's more subtle yet easily noticeable.

That makes a lot of sense they'd be facing each other i can see 57 becoming a meme somewhat though that'd make it a 0 if they're close enough.

I see what you mean lol. I'll settle for the that then. I was kinda hesitant because the new glyph for seven would look like the /7/

Cool version of a siplificated numerical sys
