BPOZZ Design Note

Carter One's digits each keep their own width and the file has no tnum feature, so font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums changes nothing. A number that updates in place, such as a countdown or a sale price, will change width as its digits change; set live figures in a face with fixed-width numerals.
