Great fonts (typefaces) with oldstyle figures?

Asked by RedMosquitoMM (539points) December 15th, 2009

I’m looking for free fonts with oldstyle figures (where the numbers sit above or below the baseline). Clean fonts that would be used on documents like a resume, thesis, or simple print layout would be best.

@Cat4thCB Actually, I was looking for fonts with characters that extend below or below the base line. Good free ones are remarkably hard to find. Thanks though!
