Within typography, the term fractions typically denotes the specific set of characters embedded inside a typeface that are engineered explicitly for the most readable display of numerical ratios. Numerical expressions exhibit vastly superior readability when formatted with proper diagonal alignment rather than relying on awkward, inline text spacing, making it highly advantageous to activate this automated formatting feature through OpenType properties.
Even without OpenType, many fonts have Unicode points for the common fractions: ½, ¼, and ¾. Less-common fractions (⅓, ⅔, ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, and ⅞) are not present in most fonts.
