A lot of human factors work went into the tape formats, and it was

So do the numbers get bigger or smaller as the tape move down?

It does not get bigger when it moves down slowly. It only does
that when it moves down quickly, sucking the pilot to get closer
to the fast moving tape. It may be even bloodier, unless one is
trained
to slow down the fast moving tape before it displays a single digit 0.
