The aim of the study was to determine to which extent numerals can be disguised when an individual tries to attempt disguise in order to conceal their identity. For this purpose, 100 samples having both normal and disguised handwriting of an individual between the age 18-30 years were collected. The samples were studied thoroughly to examine the class characteristics. Also, different formations and individual characteristics of numerals were analysed using Visualizer and Clear Scanner App. The findings suggested that the numeral which is most disguised within the population is numeral '3' and the least disguised numeral is ‘0’. Also, the most disguised percentage among the population was 30% which indicates that out of 10 numerals people usually disguise 3 of the numerals.
