I guess I just find myself disagreeing. I don't find lowercase numerals any different from extending a Latin font to Cyrillic or Greek. In my view, they're just extra characters, rather than an aesthetic choice of the font. Ideally, good body text fonts will have both types of numerals to choose from.

I think it's just OK to disagree. But among designers, it does standout. It's like whitewalls on a contemporary supercar.

But you know what, there are plenty of out of place things that can still just be appealing sometimes. /shrug
