These numbers were discovered in the 1908 edition of the Specimens of Point Line Type by the Stephenson, Blake & Company. Usually when people think of reviving a vintage typeface they choose one where the type specimen contains all glyphs. With this number set all they ever created were the numbers.
I thought it was sad it would never be revived as it wasn’t a full typeface and even though Matt told me it was nuts to make a numbers only font I said who cares and we ended up with this.
