You might describe it as
- numbers jiggle when they change
- make the digits line up in a table
- counter that shakes while counting
Not to be confused with
- Number roll
Tabular numbers keep digits the same width; a number roll animates them sliding.
- Monospace
Tabular numbers make only the digits the same width, in a normal font; a monospace font makes every character the same width.
