 FontSize="18" 
 FontFamily="Palatino Linotype"
 Typography.NumeralStyle="OldStyle"
 Typography.Fraction="Stacked"
 Typography.Variants="Inferior"
>
 <Run>
 This text has some altered typography characteristics. Note
 that use of an open type font is necessary for most typographic
 properties to be effective.
 </Run>
 <LineBreak/><LineBreak/>
 <Run>
 0123456789 10 11 12 13
 </Run>
 <LineBreak/><LineBreak/>
 <Run>

The following example shows how to set the Typography property programmatically.

Paragraph par = new Paragraph();

Run runText = new Run(
 "This text has some altered typography characteristics. Note" +
 "that use of an open type font is necessary for most typographic" +
 "properties to be effective.");
Run runNumerals = new Run("0123456789 10 11 12 13");
Run runFractions = new Run("1/2 2/3 3/4");

par.Inlines.Add(runText);
par.Inlines.Add(new LineBreak());
par.Inlines.Add(new LineBreak());
par.Inlines.Add(runNumerals);
par.Inlines.Add(new LineBreak());
par.Inlines.Add(new LineBreak());
par.Inlines.Add(runFractions);

par.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Left;
par.FontSize = 18;
par.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Palatino Linotype");

par.Typography.NumeralStyle = FontNumeralStyle.OldStyle;
par.Typography.Fraction = FontFraction.Stacked;
par.Typography.Variants = FontVariants.Inferior;

Dim par As New Paragraph()

Dim runText As New Run("This text has some altered typography characteristics. Note" & "that use of an open type font is necessary for most typographic" & "properties to be effective.")
Dim runNumerals As New Run("0123456789 10 11 12 13")
Dim runFractions As New Run("1/2 2/3 3/4")

par.Inlines.Add(runText)
par.Inlines.Add(New LineBreak())
par.Inlines.Add(New LineBreak())
par.Inlines.Add(runNumerals)
par.Inlines.Add(New LineBreak())
par.Inlines.Add(New LineBreak())
par.Inlines.Add(runFractions)

par.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Left
par.FontSize = 18
par.FontFamily = New FontFamily("Palatino Linotype")

par.Typography.NumeralStyle = FontNumeralStyle.OldStyle
par.Typography.Fraction = FontFraction.Stacked
par.Typography.Variants = FontVariants.Inferior

Remarks

The Typography property is applicable only to OpenType fonts. A typography variant has no effect on fonts that do not support the variant. For more information on this topic, see Typography in WPF.
