Digital Font Puzzle. One easy the other may be not
$begingroup$
In the Digital Font shown below, each letter is made up of line segments. For example letter A has 6, B has 7, C has 4 segments and so on.
Question 1 ( Easy)
Which english number, when spelled out (with capital letters) has the
same total number of segments as the number itself?
( It is no fun going through each number. There is some logic here.)
Example : ONE has 6+5+5 = 16 segments
Question 2 ( Not so easy)
Which 2 numbers when added together give you a number same as the
total number of segments in those 2 numbers? Ignore + sign segments. This must be other than the first number
Example : ONE + ONE = 2 But ONE + ONE = 32 segments not the right answer of course
Surprisingly, I think both answers are unique. No programming please.
NO PARTIAL ANSWERS PLEASE. BECAUSE ONE IS EASY

Just to clarify, are M and W intended to be 5 or 6 segments each? (They have 6 line segments but two appear to be joined into a single piece.)
