Does anyone know of a good font with a bunch of rounded shoulders and rounded terminal(duh, serif fonts) I'm mainly looking for numbers. Example the number 7, having the shoulder of the 7 rounded and the terminal of the 7 rounded the stem thin the bar thin. The end of the bar (right bottom side) thick and then from that thickness it turns thin to its stem.
[still a beginner in type, so any of the terms i got wrong please correct]
Any help on this would be awesome :)

if you search "hebrew" or "aramaic" or "arabic" or "asian style" fonts you will find more examples to what you are looking for over the straight up american style font language where it seems you are looking now. other characters or letters or numbers may be the #7 you are searching for.

ill try to see if i can sift through some asian, arabaic and other foreign fonts. that should help a bit.

your font may be upside down when using foreign fonts. play with that as well.

I think I might make my own font. I've drawn all my letters and numbers of how I want this font to be, it's been drawn so much that I might just make it.
