I find that after a little practice with typography, my handwriting moved to something similar to this naturally (including air joins when necessary). I've recently worked a bit to reacquire my cursive skills, and as someone who practices both pretty fluently I'll vouch for italic as being easier to read and easier/faster to write. My general handwriting is italic-form. I use block lettering, classic straight lettering, and cursive as various ways to denote headings and sidenotes.
