We show that for a given base $b$ and a proper subset $E\subset\{0,\dots,b-1\}$, $\#E\ltb-1$, the set of numbers $x\in[0,1]$ that have no digits from $E$ in their expansion to base $b$ consists almost exclusively of $S^*$-numbers of type at most $\min\{2,\log b/\log(b-\#E)\}$. We also give upper bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of some exceptional sets.
