Numerals
All weights of Jigsaw include six different kinds of numerals. Default numerals are ranging, or OsF (Old-style proportional Figures) for use in running text. Proportions of text figures are similar to ascenders and descenders of lower case characters. Lining figures for use with capitals letters, because their proportions match the height of caps. Tabular (both Lining and OsF), superior and inferior figures are included in OpenType fonts.

Styles
Jigsaw comes in four weights, each accompanied by two different Italics. No small capitals. Same styles are available in the Stencil font.
Two Italics
Jigsaw is equipped by two different fonts for emphasis. Jigsaw Cursive is inspired by humanistic handwriting, while Jigsaw Italic is a more sober version influenced by early 20th century Sans-serif typefaces.
