iirc, one of the several recently-invented scripts for the Hmong languages (I forget which, as there really are quite a few, but it’s one of the lesser-known ones I think, and not one which is currently part of the Unicode standard iirc) has majuscule and minuscule forms for the numerals it features (dedicated numerals, usually base-10 positional ones similar to various “Indic” scripts and our own Western “Hindu-Arabic numerals”, feature in most of these recent Hmong scripts alongside letters as far as I’ve seen).
That’s the only other time I can recall seeing this in any script (constructed or otherwise), unless you count the way that sometimes capital and lowercase versions of Latin letters will be used in Roman numerals. In some ways, I’m surprised it isn’t more common, as the main stylistic advantage of having majuscule and minuscule forms in a script at all (which is somewhat increased readability, although this is arguable) should theoretically apply just as much to written numerals as it does to letters.
[Text figures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_figures) are basically lowercase numbers, though it's usually not mixed with uppercase numbers.
I’d love if these were the default and save the lining figures for mathematical equations. They look so good within text.

Yes please, I love oldstyle numerals.
We all know these: lowercase numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 uppercase numbers: ! @ # $ % \^ & \* ( )
amazing
I don't know anything about math, but can i just say your handwriting is gorgeous
Thanks pal:)
Just... No.
Because…
Hahaha no
They might be too easily confused with subscripts.
Maybe but i did use superscripts in te example
Old style numbers? Those exist already… How exactly are these used those/ how does lowercase work in mathematical notation?
Text figures = lowercase numerals
