Other than the fact that credit card and auto loan numbers are not updating, I like the concept. Not using tabular figures[1] here is really unforgivable, though. Maybe I'm missing a font?

I have literally never heard the term 'tabular figures' to refer to a fixed width font.

The font they're using is "Varela Round" which isn't fixed width to begin with; so whether it's missing or not is largely irrelevant.

edit: another comment indicates that tabular numbers can be a feature of even a non fixed width/monospace font. Dunno if Varela Round uses those.
