I believe this piece was designed by Stephen Sagmeister...can anyone identify the typeface used
for the numbers?
You guys all have been soo great!

Very probably Lineto's wonderful Gravur Condensed.
hi dc,
look to my font NOGA, for beauty numbers :-)

You could also try FF Isonorm 3098 for this rounded
"technical drawing" feel. At $99 for 4 weights it's a
bargain. And Mecanorma has a single weight for $22!
(I prefer the Lineto version though. They've really got
some killer deigns over there.)
What works very nicely -- at least it did for me -- is to use Isonorm Monospaced and add 10% weight to it FontLab or some tool like that -- by using the fully automated process. This rather weird process results in a very vernacular typeface that is strangely rounded and feels strangely un-designed.
The only irritating thing about Lineto is the pricing in Schweizer Franken. I tried to contact Wendlin and Co about Euro pricings for Courier Sans, but to no avail...
