Other way around...  A high (digital 1) is a positive voltage, a low
(digital 0) is a lower or negative voltage (i.e. less than the 1's
voltage, whether it be zero or below zero).

All digital logic is this way.  There are cases where the low signal is
the active state (i.e. a 0 is true and 1 is false), called "negative
logic," or "active low," but it's still a case of 1's voltage is greater
than 0's.  It's the meaning of 0 and 1 that's inverted.
