I once spent some effort to make my handwriting very legible, without concern for calligraphic sensibilities. For example I had serifs on several but not all letters. Perhaps such handwriting (and similar efforts) would lend themselves more to handwriting fonts than digitizing handwriting that is not practiced for legibility. I mean: perhaps it would look handwritten when digitized more so than fonts based on handwriting not optimized for legibility (optimized in the sense of my effort). The author’s handwriting looks quite legible. I wonder how they approached their own handwriting before digitization.

As far as I'm aware, it's perfectly normal to write 'I' with serifs and everything else without.
