I don't think it's very controversial to call Operator Mono Italic a cursive font. Edit: In case it wasn't clear, only the font used for the comment is cursive

  Ah, thanks, I had missed the comment entirely, so I mistakenly thought you were taking about the distinctive "f" in the code font.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive: “style of penmanship in which some characters_are_written_joined_together in a flowing manner, generally for the purpose of making writing faster, in contrast to block letters.“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_letters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_letters: “a sans-serif. (or "gothic") style of writing Latin script in which the letters_are_individual_glyphs, with no joining” Here, the s and the l look like they are cut out of some cursive text, but even they clearly are individual glyphs. The other letters in this example to me clearly are block letters. Examples of truly cursive fonts are Lucida Handwriting and Zapfino. Having said that, Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italic_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italic_script) describes italic as semi-cursive, and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_script https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_script has a few other ‘cursives’, some of which don’t connect letters.

  > I don't think it's very controversial to call Operator Mono Italic a cursive font. What do you think cursive means? It means joined up writing. All the letters in this entire screenshot are separate - not joined up.
