Looks easy...

Looked easy at first, but my first few guesses were Impact, Helvetica Heavy Condensed and Haettenschweiler, none of which matched. Any ideas?

Yup, does anyone in this industry look at their kerning when doing numbers? It is the most widely abused area of typography.

I think I'm on your side, but that might be slightly debatable when it comes to tabular vs. proportional. Tabular does often look a little better when you have columns of 3-digit suite numbers.

Also, thanks Fred!

In most non-specimen type faces numbers are mono-spaced. And rightly so for reasons that should be obvious to the most casual observer.
