Be careful about believing what you are told.
[steve ~]$ cat test.py
from numbers import Number
from typing import Dict
Data = Dict[str, Number]
a: Data = {None: []}
[steve ~]$ mypy test.py
test.py:4: error: Dict entry 0 has incompatible type "None":
"List[<nothing>]"; expected "str": "Number"

The Python interpreter intentionally doesn't know or care about
typing annotations. The interpreter should absolutely allow that.
However mypy correctly flags that assignment as a type error.
How about typeguard? That's for the typeguard developers to answer, but
my guess is that they will say that the typechecked decorator can
enforce type checking of the input parameters and perhaps even the
return result, but there is nothing they can do about what happens
inside the body of the function.

Something like this?
from numbers import Number
from collections import UserDict
class RestrictedDict(UserDict):
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
if not isinstance(key, str):
raise TypeError('key must be a string')
if not isinstance(value, Number):
raise TypeError('value must be a number')
super().__setitem__(key, value)
(I think that is the only method that needs to be overloaded.)
