Hi, I asked me if i could put numbers inside a font name. For example I would name my latest font " Village 1903 " remembering the year Goudy designed his Village first version.
Thanks for any reply,
ivan

It is not unusual to use numbers in font names, but 1903 would mean little to the average user.1

@Bhikkhu Pesala Thanks ! Of course I could call it " Goudy Village 1903 " because this is a very close revival (except for the different weights I project), but I don't know if Goudy's name is protected or not.

The one spot where one may run into issues with numbers in a font name is when the first character is a number. Some older font engines and font renderers in current web technology don’t like a font name to begin with a digit. Just something related to keep in mind. fyi.
Your use should be fine.3 -
@Jeff Kellem Thanks for your reply ! I will do it like that.
