Nine numeral styles per weight, with buyer-chosen defaults at licensing
Mote is a low-contrast, utilitarian grotesque typeface designed by Hrvoje Živčić and engineered by Roberto Arista, released by Typotheque in 2013. Available in six weights, it ranges from a text-focused Regular to more expressive Light and Black extremes suited to larger sizes. Each weight ships with nine numeral styles—including proportional old-style, lining, tabular, superior, inferior, circled, and circled inverted—selectable via OpenType features or set as the default at licensing.
