I found myself down a YouTube rabbit hole once of people one-upping each other by making segmented displays with fewer and fewer segments and seeing who could use the least and still have it be decipherable for all numbers

There was a smaller subset that challenged themselves with 3 segment displays for 0-6

Only with a rectangular 8. Doesn’t work for a ‘real’ 8. This solves that issue.

Except you have to turn the thing on its head for some numbers which I consider a worse tradeoff.

watch the video linked in another comment. There are circle based 7 segment displays, if you realy need those curves.

i can see from how you did ‘real’ that 8, that i don’t need to remind you that there are no real 🖐️✌️🖕 :)

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.

Look up lowercase digits in your typography manual and be enlightened. And also start making nicer documents.

You can make every digit 0-9 with a boxy 8. Look at any 7 segment display.
