BPOZZ Design Note

Nobile's figures are old-style and of uneven width, and the file offers no lnum or tnum to change them, so font-variant-numeric: lining-nums tabular-nums has no effect. In an interface set in Nobile, amounts in a table column or counters on a dashboard will neither align vertically nor sit at capital height.
