Fuck serif fonts. The point of writing is to communicate clearly. Not look pretty and fancy-pants IMO.
I hate cursive for the same reason. It's elitist trash script.
The point of cursive is to be able to write without picking up your pen as often. Some people make theirs fancy because not everyone’s a miserable bastard.
If you're doing it for yourself, fine. If you're writing for me, don't waste my time by making me have to decipher your custom scribble that's never consistent with anyone else's, unlike normal print.
Which is why we have serifs, so you can tell the difference between I and l.
It also helps eye to follow the line and therefore makes reading easier. It is almost as if typographers came up with it for a reason.
But that's a workaround, not a fix.
go monospace or go bust
