Wikipedia itself calls it "semi-cursive".



No it doesn't. The only time "semi-cursive" is ever mentioned on that page, or the subpage for it itself is when talking about Chinese calligraphy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-cursive_script


The description of "italic script", that the parent claimed was "one of the many types or cursive", explicitly says

> Italic script, also known as chancery cursive and Italic hand, is a semi-cursive, slightly sloped style of handwriting and calligraphy that was developed during the Renaissance in Italy.
