Here's an old cool GIF animation for my Bloki font. Always love to add some cyberglitches on stuff!

"A Number System Invented by Inuit Schoolchildren Will Make Its Silicon Valley Debut

In the remote Arctic almost 30 years ago, a group of Inuit middle school students and their teacher invented the Western Hemisphere’s first new number system in more than a century. The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm."

Very cool, really intuitive and even helpful with complex calculcations:

I was recently blown away by the Kaktovik numerals developed by Iñupiat middle school students in 1994, which make arithmetic much easier and are base-20:

Another indigenous group, the Maya, used a similar base-20 system:

I'm thinking of applying something like these to a base-12 system for a language I'm playing with, though base-60 isn't looking bad either (used by the Sumerians among others):
