# Numeral (/docs/components/typography/numeral)
`Numeral` formats numbers with `Intl.NumberFormat`. It respects locale from React Aria's
`I18nProvider`.
## Formats [#formats]
`Numeral` infers `format` from `currency` or `unit` when omitted. Pass `format` explicitly for
`'percent'` or `'decimal'`, or when you want to be direct about currency and unit formatting.
## Compact notation [#compact-notation]
Use `abbreviate` for compact notation.
## Precision [#precision]
Pass a number for fixed fraction digits, or a `[min, max]` tuple for a range.
## Constraints [#constraints]
`Numeral` throws in development when:
* both `currency` and `unit` are provided.
* `format="currency"` is used without a `currency` code.
* `format="unit"` is used without a `unit` value.
* `precision` is not a non-negative integer or valid `[min, max]` tuple.
