Haha! Good choice. I have it in my files.
The reason I say it's a good choice is because it's a little more spindly than many scripts, it has a flat-bottom "b" (not common), and the line spacing is wider than most. It's hard to find scripts with those particular qualities.
However, it's a looped d, and the a, m, p and especially the r are somewhat different (and the "l" usually has a serif, which the marginalia l does not), and the h is a hooked-h rather than a round one, which drops down the ratings to the low 60s, but still, even though it doesn't score in the 70s, I thought it was interesting enough to sample in three different places:
