I have seen this kind of Numbers in some publications, It looks betters in the text of body, but I don't know the name or how to get them.

I am not talking about a specific font family but rather the number style.

Thanks

    I would call them oldstyle figures. You need to find a font that contains them and then enable them in your layout application in the OpenType settings of your text. Which program do you use?
