idk what you mean by universal; this is a typographical choice. the only reason you see more uppercase numbers everywhere is because of typewriters and by extension computers. I don’t think people make a point of lining numbers up with cap height in handwriting.
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.
we’re not speaking about a computer font, we’re speaking about typography in general. the reason I mentioned them is because the ubiquity was forced by restrictions. we used to type non-english letters without diacritics before different languages got support online. now we don’t have those restrictions either. what you said is not universal; there are different kinds for different uses. just like uppercase and lowercase letters.
Oh that makes sense, thanks for the information. Still would not want to use something thats not universal.
