FWIW, these are "old style" numerals, and there are also versions of Fira Sans with "tabular" numerals that are all the same height (e.g., in LaTeX, you can pick either one).

Sure, but we use Papyrus, not Comic Sans.

Grotesque.

I like Ubuntu Mono but I’ll admit it’s a bit flashy for a code font.

Nice find, thanks!

0 seems a bit too indistinguishable from O, but otherwise I'm also a big fan of the numbers.

I love Century Gothic and most of Futura, though I'm not sure how I feel about Futura's lowercase j.

But we are speaking about a Computer Font right now, idk what that has to do with handwriting and who cares about handwriting in 2024. With universal i mean that any kind of number should look god, no matter if its a Telefon Number, a Price or a Street Number.

The subtle kerning of it, the tasteful thickness of it, my god it's even got serifs.

we're not speaking about a computer font, we're speaking about typography in general. and what you said is not universal; there are different kinds for different uses. just like uppercase and lowercase letters.

My favorite font foundry is https://indestructibletype.com. Beautiful typefaces, open source, and many different weights. The designer also has some good sex ed videos on his YouTube channel.

Atkinson hyperlegibile is hands down the best for reading ebooks. It was designed for visually impaired people, but it's also super easy on the eyes for everyone else. I read so much faster and more comfortably with this that I can't imagine using anything else.

Pure elistism. 0 1 and 2 were the original high digits created by imperialist powers that reigned supreme for thousands of years.
After the first number wars, 3-9 started to demand equal rights at bargaining table.
In order to keep the hierarchy in place, 6 and 8 were randomly selected and used as class traitors to subjugate the other lower digits. Hence their perceived elevetaed status.
