Runic numerals are more cool tbh but both technically are Aryan.

I have never seen those before. They look nice on paper but must be irritating to write numbers like 99. It's like a 9 with four more strokes, so that's 2 compared to 10. I always think of a base-8 number system being more natural because of dividing a circle in 8 parts, while 16 is difficult to draw out reasonably. Roman numerals are based off finger counting though, IIII originally for four fingers and V for thumb sticking out, then X for crossing hands. Arabic numerals are actually backwards for English use, which is why the largest value is on the left instead of the right. I don't like using Arabic numerals in text either because they stick out too much, but fonts are likely designed to have them stick out. Maybe a lower case numeral system would be good for inserting numbers into essays.

From my study the original number system had 16 symbols for counting as there are 16 runes in the Younger Futhark but there was another system with 19 symbols going along with the Metonic Cycle for calendar use. Finally there is the base-10 system which became the most wide spread and shares some characteristics with Roman Numerals and its use has basically continued into the present, though the calendars acting as Christian guides to the year.

The oldest intact Runnic Calendar being the Computus Runicus from the 14th century which may be tracking pagan dates, all the Latin scribbles scattered about are written by Olaus Wormius some 200 years later who is trying to understand it only in a Christian sense, the final few pages being his idea of what it is.

Staveless rune forms would be used to write quickly. Its fun to see how fast one can write in the staveless forms using a hot knife.
