Quiddity

Universally recognizable numbers.

I started this project after recognizing the number 3 in its simplest shape: >. I noticed that the amount of points that made up the number, corresponded to the number itself.

Looking at whether the other numbers could follow the same rule, the result is a fusion of shape and number. That way the number is universally recognizable because they're constructed by the number of points that the number represents. So if I'm ever abducted by an extraterrestrial I can explain that one time is enough ;)
