>What then do we say about our script font?


In the Rambam's opinion, the semicursive Hebrew which most people use to write it, was introduced in order to use it for divrei chol.

Interestingly, the Rema is of the opinion that the semicursive was introduced to write torah she-be'al peh, which is prohibited in square letters (!).
