Those are called "old-style" (or "text", or "non-lining", or "lowercase"...) figures. That may help you find a font. Good OpenType fonts may have an option to use old-style or "normal" numbers (and even each of them in tabular or text variants), but that doesn't mean that all ebook readers can use them.
