The reason our number system looks the way it does is not coincidence at all. 1 has 1 angle, 2 has 2 angles, 3 has 3 angles etc. To properly demonstrate I would need to draw them for you because over the years the numbers look a little different but not too much. The number 8 used to look like two boxes stacked on top of each other creating exactly 8 angles.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
