#Typography Tip Tuesday! Know your numerals (or figures). There are 4 different kinds and a well made font should contain all of them:
Proportional lining
Proportional oldstyle
Tabular lining
Tabular oldstyle
Top 2 rows: Proportional numerals have varying glyph widths, just like most letters and symbols. Oldstyle numerals’ letterforms have ascender- and descender-like designs.
Bottom 2 rows: Tabular numerals have a consistent width.
