If you can fit up to 16 "symbols" per "place", like you can here, it's hexadecimal, no? Either way, 0-F is a lot easier.

Easier for us because it's the conventional way hexadecimal was represented in computer history, and how we learned it.

That rune-like system is more "logical" in the way you can visually read the value by summing the segments/bits value composing the berkanam rune from least significant at top to the most significant at bottom.
