Futura medieval numbers

suus0 votes

Hi,

I found a post on this forum from 6 years ago, but it has an answer with a broken link.

I need medieval numbers in the futura. How can I achieve that? Manually is fine too, the text is quite short.

Thanks in advance!!

What do you mean by 'medieval numbers'? Roman Numerals (like MXLIV)? Numbers from some other font? By futura do you mean the font? - Herb

I think the poster means "old style numbers" (i.e., text figures) — perhaps this was a translation error?

My guess: He is looking for a digital version of the typeface Futura with old-style figures. Here is one, for instance, and one more and a third one.
