Tabular figures

Tabular figures, aka monospaced numbers, refer to the spacing of figures where they all take up the same horizontal space. As a result, the numeral "1111" takes up as much space as "9999."

Designers should use tabular figures in tables within annual reports, price lists, financial statements, invoices, and other columns of figures where values change constantly and may look offset.[1] With tabular figures, users can scan and compare numerical data easily.

Pro Tip: Select a typeface with tabular figures in the first place.
