Not my area of expertise, but one of the things that always strikes me about the VM script is that, compared to some contemporary scripts, it is very easy to read. As if it's been designed to be read by people with only very basic reading skills.
(This is, by the way, one of the factors which allows many amateurs easy access to the VM. If it were written in a more fluent way, they just wouldn't be able to transcribe it).
Maybe it's like JKP says. If you build up a writing system out of these particular strokes, you'll get something that looks like Latin cursive. But in the case of the VM, it is more accessible for the untrained eye.
