Here's a tangential question:
Why do Scotch Roman typefaces not have old-style figures? I've noticed that Miller has semi- OSF, like a cross-breed with normal lining figures, whereas Mercury and Chronicle do not have OSF's. Freight, on the other hand, which strikes me as fairly Scotch in its design, DOES have them. Any type nerds know the answer? Did people just abandon old-style figures in the 19th century?

- hmmm, never noticed thatkelpie
- surely its a digitisation thing?kelpie
- While most metal type came with OSF, Scotches come from an era when text figures fell out of favor. So not even the originals had them. Mercury and Chronicle are new designs and it surprises me very much that H&FJ did not include them. Check again.Typographica

got an answer over @ typophile:
"It’s a historical thing. When the scotch roman style was coming into play, oldstyle figures were no longer in vogue. Most of the original scotch romans didn’t have them (or had hybrid figures instead), so most revivals or interpretations of the genre tend not to have them either.
It’s not like there’s a biblical law that says “thou shalt not put oldstyle figures in a scotch roman” or anything, it just wasn’t common, historically."
So that's that.
- thank you..moamoa
- cheerskelpie
- Looks like Miller would be the best choice for classic book typography, since it has hybrid figures that are somewhere between OSF and lining figs.gramme
