You can make every digit 0-9 with a boxy 8. Look at any 7 segment display.
I think you might like this.

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 🖐️✌️🖕 :)

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
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.
I find setting fire to said sensitive text is usually pretty effective.
If that’s not enough, separating the ashes and sending them to different continents works pretty well too.
Don’t give New Years party glasses manufacturers any more ideas.
Arrange a high density led strip in this layout, the individually addressable ones. Then you’ve got a new digit display style
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
This is literally 11 84’s
Its 11 1234567890s
Literally 1984
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.

I made one of those a while back, I like it a lot, but I sort of like the idea of the numbers have a different vertical height, I may have to try @Wirlocke 's idea and do a 484 design.
