Well, kinda cursive. Obviously many of the letter forms don't touch each other so the flow is periodically broken, but this was still always one of my best typeface designs. Using it for a font hack was an easy way to make an existing script more sensitive and emotional to read. Of course, it depends on the game - having uppercase and lowercase lettering helps, as well as a game story with actual character development. For example, SaGa 2 for Game Boy (a.k.a. Final Fantasy Legend II) adapted extremely well to this font.
BACKGROUND: I used to have a much more active hobby of designing bitmap fonts. Little (usually 8x8px monospace) fonts designed for use in older 8-bit and sometimes 16-bit video games. It was kinda fun to hack ROMs to change the text fonts. Later, when Final Fantasy VI font became readily editable in 11px high proportional typeface, I started designing proportional fonts too. Nearly all my designs are revised in subtle ways over the years.
