Use the complex logarithm with $0\le \arg w\le \pi /2$ on the nonzero points of the first-quadrant square. Put $z=x+iy=\log |w|+i\arg w$. The square bounds $\mathrm{Re}w,\mathrm{Im}w\le a$ giveThe two edges meeting at $w=0$ map to the horizontal half-lines $y=0$ and $y=\pi /2$, extending indefinitely to the left. The other edges map to $x=\log a-\log \cos y$ for $0\le y\le \pi /4$ and $x=\log a-\log \sin y$ for $\pi /4\le y\le \pi /2$. They meet at $\log (a\sqrt{2})+i\pi /4$.

The angles are preserved at $a$, $a(1+i)$ and $ia$. There $d\log w/dw=1/w$ is finite and nonzero. The origin is a branch point, has no finite logarithmic image, and supplies no fourth finite vertex at which angle preservation could be asserted.
