Hi, I was wondering if there existed any version of DTL Elzevir with tabular numbers? DTL Elzevir Outline has … but I can't find any information on the other weights. Tabular numbers would be very helpful, even when the version is homemade.

No, there is no version with tabular numbers. Just to test it in the field I have made one for you with the following weights:

DTL Elzevir Tf

DTL Elzevir Tf Medium

DTL Elzevir Tf Bold

DTL Elzevir Tf Book

DTL Elzevir Tf Caps

DTL Elzevir TOsf Caps

Only one weight with Oldstyle tabular figures. No Italics. If you need them drop me a line.

As far as I see the default lining figures is already tabular numerals.

The default numbers of DTLElzevir are all proportional. Although the DTL pricelist for Elzevir shows a tabular version along with the T and ST versions, I have never seen one of those (sadly). And the Tab numbers are not integrated in the OTs floating around as they are conversions from T1, which even miss superiors for instance. I suppose that DTL has revised the typeface in the meantime (our versions dating from 1997) and maybe has added Tab figures as an OT feature.
