When you select number fonts, ensure that the number font you want to use:
The font you select should scale well and has great readability both on the large TV screens and tiny screens of mobile devices. Each character should be clearly distinguishable.
The font should cause any legibility and readability problems for users who prefer to choose a dark mode in their app.
The number font you choose should work well with other fonts that you use in your design. Your goal is to create a UI that will look well-balanced. Thus, at the time when you select a number font, you need to try it and see whether the overall design looks from an aesthetic point of view. The number font should create an impression of an essential ingredient of design.
