Yeah I thought about that too
Don't give New Years party glasses manufacturers any more ideas.
They won't do it because they can only sell them once
I argue that when presented with 9 normal looking numbers, the o is not an acceptable alternative to 0
So many fonts just do whatever to be different and stand out from the crowd, but all it does is making it easier to avoid them
It just looks like a lowercase 0. Lowercase digits often look better anyway.
You can make every digit 0-9 with a boxy 8. Look at any 7 segment display.
I think you might like this.

Pro tip for if you need to scratch out sensitive penned down text: don't scratch it out, it'll still be readable. Instead write other similar numbers and letters over it. Have a 9? Write a p over it, then use the circle for the bottom of an 8, then write a B over the p.. it'll be impossible to discern what the original letter or number was. Do this for all letters and you're good.
TIL dban exists for physical media.
Literally 1984
Makes me think of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTB5XhjbgZA
Straight up this is exactly what came to mind for me as well
It's a great watch for those that haven't BTW, I'd recommend it if you're curious
I want a clock that illuminates like this, but I guess it'd need to be able to flip to really do it with just a 4 and 8.
It wouldn't need to flip if you just make a symmetrical upsidedown 4 on the topside of the 8.
This is literally 11 84's
Its 11 1234567890s
I never write 4 that way, though
Me neither. I also cross my 7's.
Funny, I do box top 4's but don't cross my 7's
My 9's also have a tail pointing straight down though
Arrange a high density led strip in this layout, the individually addressable ones. Then you’ve got a new digit display style
