Find another font?

Franklin Gothic Heavy, 400 pt 440 pt (with slightly condensed spacing) works nicely. If my estimation is correct, the narrowest stroke on the "4" should be around 0.77 in.

See the attachment. I used Inkscape (free download); you could also use Adobe Illustrator or something similar.

Edit: See this slightly better version. In this version, the short stroke is even thicker.
