Plain zero (0) without a dot or slash
When using this font on a website in a context, where only numbers are used, it's not easy to get the difference between the 0 and the 8. No matter if it is displayed as dotted zero or slashed zero.
It would be great to have another option via css like:
font-feature-settings: "zero-plain"
for having a zero without a dot or slash
It may be difficult to distinguish from capital letter O
It’s only a problem when you mix text and numbers. But if you in a context (i.e. table row with just number values) where only numbers are displayed, it won’t be an issue und will increase readability.
I'm here for the same reason, I'm having a hard time telling the difference between 0
and 8
at smaller point sizes. However, my request is kind of the opposite. I'd like an alternate 8
where the top circle is smaller, both in height and width, than the bottom circle. I'll also suggest a zero with a dot that is thinner and a bit taller (assuming the dot can be made thinner), or possibly drop the current dot lower instead of centered, which should make it that much easier to distinguish 0
with a new 8
.
And as I type this, I wonder if maybe ligatures for 08
and 80
could be created, though I have no idea what such ligatures would look like. (Yep, just thinking out loud here.)
