About Numbers Font Family


The world is filled with recognizable and unique numbers that were never available as fonts — until we designed the Numbers family.

Numbers’ is a collection of typefaces designed by Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, which first appeared in the Pentagram Calendar of 2006. An unusually diverse type family containing sixteen formally unrelated styles, Numbers draws inspiration from a range of visual traditions unconnected with printing types, evoking the recognizable lettering of everyday objects such as playing cards, gasoline pumps, and banknotes.

From the desk of the designer:

Every year, Pentagram chooses twelve beloved typefaces for its iconic Pentagram Calendar. Traditionally, the calendar features works by typographers past and present, from timeless standards like Garamond and Bodoni to modern classics such as Knockout and Gotham. In 2006, Pentagram broke with tradition and selected twelve typefaces from the same designers: H&Co, who created for the calendar this collection of fifteen original fonts, called simply “Numbers.”

For more than a century, typefounders considered numbers separately from the provision of other printing types. Nineteenth century type specimen books often displayed separate sections containing fonts of numbers alone, many of which contained unique features suited to specific kinds of settings. Fonts for tables contained digits designed to a standard width, so that columns would neatly align; those created for calendars contained forms such as “24/31” to accommodate orphan Sundays. The practice of creating specialized number fonts began to disappear at the beginning of the twentieth century, vanishing completely by the dawn of the digital age. Recognizing their appeal and usefulness this practice, H&Co revives the tradition, for this collection of new typefaces.

The fonts in the Numbers series take their inspiration not from the history of printing types, but from other kinds of numbering familiar from the modern environment. Playing card numbers, instantly recognizable even out of context, have been revived as the Deuce typeface. The forms in the Greenback font are familiar from the U. S. dollar. Other fonts in the series draw inspiration from more distant sources, from vintage railroad cars to Soviet street signs.
