I saw these and immediately thought they looked nice but, on closer inspection, i those those ‘1’s that rise higher than the second digit on 10 & 12 would really irritate me over time 🤦‍♂️

^^^Ouch, can't unsee that now!

Actually the 1 numerals are not nice. Look like Corinthian columns - I prefer a proper left serif.

However, you know your own mind and if you are comfortable with it – why not?
My thoughts too.
