BPOZZ Design Note

Young Serif's digits are old-style by default, but the file also carries lining and tabular figures, so a price list can switch to equal-width lining numbers with font-variant-numeric while the text keeps its old-style ones. Upstream calls it a heavy weight, yet the file is registered as 400.
