CombiNumerals(tm) is a typeface for creating circled numbers, popular for use in Web graphics,
documentation and instructional material, maps, signs and guide books, for example. With CombiNumerals, you can create any number between 0 and 99.
Here’s how:

SINGLE-DIGIT NUMBERS – The numbers 0 through 9 are
created by pressing the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J keys respectively
(you can type either lower- or uppercase).

DOUBLE-DIGIT NUMBERS -
The numbers 00 through 99 are created by first pressing one of the number
keys (0-9), followed by Shift-number. For example, to create the number
67, press the 6 key followed by Shift-7. You can also create two-digit
circled numbers with a leading zero, 07 (0, Sh-7), for example.

MULTIPLE WEIGHTS – CombiNumerals is available in two weights — Open and Solid.
The Open weight displays numbers inside hollow circles. The Solid weight displays white numbers inside filled circles. The Solid weight is the Bold version of the Open weight.

ADDITIONALCH ARACTERS – Several other characters besides numerals are available in
this font. For instance, arrows, hands, pointers, and the Mac OS and
Windows logos (including circled M and W characters) can be created. These
characters are commonly used by people writing documentation, but are also
used for things like maps, signs, posters, guide books, etc.
