Why should it take longer than designing numerals for 10 thru 15 (base

Last time I looked, those were A,B,C,D,E,F, sometimes written as
a,b,c,d,e,f.

I've yet to see dedicated base-16 numerals.

Although if you're working with 7-segment LED displays, it's A, b, C, d, E, F. I've always wondered if it was just fortuitous, or good design, that hexadecimal just manages to fit so well into those displays....
