As someone who likes to write fast, and consequently does a lot of mistakes, i wanted a system where you could relatively easily rectify your error, as the numbers are essentially extentions of each other. I used snippets from the dragon font to make the symbols

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please tell me. If not, tell me what you think!

There is an existing number system, though it's not used in any official capacity.

I do like the shapes of 1-5. In both systems, I think the runes are too similar, so it is hard to tell them apart at first glance.

Runes typically have a convention where there is no more than 3 parts (of either slashes or dots). Numbers 6-9 break that convention. It's challenging to create so many unique runes with those requirements.

My idea with 6-9 was to make it a bit more unique, to make it less obvious that it was based of of human numbers, so that instead of one rune, they are in fact two runes with three (or less) strokes, so 7 would equal to 52 (5+2) but as there already is another system, i have no wish to interupt a working system!
