[Competition] Best folio number parallels.
#4
Not sure what you're asking, but if you find some really good numerals but a few are missing, that's also fine.

Some basic thoughts about the number shapes, not sure how useful any of these are:

  1. has a tiny spike top left, sometimes barely visible.
  2. is sometimes shaped almost like a "z", but rather flat and stretched horizontally. Top part may be curved.
  3. has two distinct extremes, with some fluidity between them. The form I find most remarkable has a straight horizontal top with a spike at the left end. The other extreme looks almost like "2", but with the bottom stroke curving down.
  4. looks like a fairly symmetrical "+" sign, with a connection between the left and the top point. The vertical leg is completely vertical, separating it from medieval forms. 
  5. ... it's best to just look at this and find something similar :)
  6. Somewhat variable.
  7. has its both left ends touching the same imaginary vertical line.
  8. has a separate "c" stroke bottom left. The top loop tends to be a bit larger, though I'm not sure if this is important.
  9. looks pretty normal

Zero is a circle.
