When it comes to writing the digits 1, 2, 3, etc. there is no true cursive script, meaning there is no method for connecting the digits one to another.

Therefore writing styles try to get people to write out the digits one at a time, and clearly. Of course if you have tried to read people’s phone numbers, postal addresses and email addresses—which often include numbers—you will know that people still manage to write illegible numerals.
