font variant numeric

Tailwind Class	CSS Property
`normal-nums`	`font-variant-numeric: normal`
`ordinal`	`font-variant-numeric: ordinal`
`slashed-zero`	`font-variant-numeric: slashed-zero`
`lining-nums`	`font-variant-numeric: lining-nums`
`oldstyle-nums`	`font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums`
`proportional-nums`	`font-variant-numeric: proportional-nums`
`tabular-nums`	`font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`
`diagonal-fractions`	`font-variant-numeric: diagonal-fractions`
`stacked-fractions`	`font-variant-numeric: stacked-fractions`

Font variant numeric classes:

normal-nums: Using normal-nums will remove each effect of the font-variant-numeric class.
ordinal: This value directly indicates the open type values i.e. ordn. The term makes use of special glyphs for ordinal markers.
slashed-zero: This class slashed-zero used a zero with a slash, which proves to be very useful while distinguishing between 0 and O.
lining-nums: This class corresponds to the open type values i.e lnum. This keyword activates the numbers lying on the baseline.
oldstyle-nums: This class corresponds to the open type values i.e onum. This keyword activates the set of figures where some numbers have descendant.
proportional-nums: This class activates those norms where not every number is of the same size. Its open type value is pnum.
tabular-nums: This class open type value is tnum. It activates those sets of figures where a set of numbers is of the same size.
diagonal-fractions: It’s open type value is frac. This activates those sets of figures where numerator and denominator are made smaller and are separated by a slash.
stacked-fractions: It’s open type value is arac. This activates those set of figures where numerator and denominator are made smaller, stacked, and are separated by a horizontal line.
