Anatomy of numbers or Names for parts of numbers?

Recommended Posts

Posted

There are diagrams on the web giving technical names for the parts of letter forms, such as "counter," "ascender," "bulbous terminal," etc.  Are there any similar diagrams for the parts of numbers?  

I'm specifically interested in 19th century type, but I assume the same names would apply.

Thanks!

I couldn't find any myself.  So, can anyone suggest what terms would be appropriate for the following number parts?  Thanks!
