This seems likely entangled with bug #64231 and bug #64232.

At this point I envision revamping the style (as opposed to the spacing) types.

upright (currently "digit")
slanted (currently "letter")
heavy (currently nonexistent)

+.\" XXX: How would you actually customize it, though?  There doesn't
+.\" seem to be a means of replacing the font associated with a type.

"digit" seems to really mean "non-letter".  Maybe "nonletter" would be a better name.  See the only test of its value.
