By "old style numbers" he probably means old-style numbers!  These 
are numerals which are like lower case letters, some of regular ("x") 
height and others with either ascenders or descenders.  These 
contrast with the numerals generally used these days, which behave 
like capital letters: they are all of consistent full height.

I trust this helps.
