Numbers Matter
When typographers talk about the characters that make up numbers, they call them figures. Numbers, after all, can be anything— two digits, three digits, a fraction, a mathy number with several decimal places shown. So 10 is a number, but 1 and 0, individually, are figures. And how those figures figure (zing) into a layout can really impact the overall success of the design.
After this free Monotype webinar, you will be more confident in recognizing the different types of figures commonly included in professional fonts, and how they can be typeset with Adobe Illustrator and what the best and worst use cases for each happens to be.
