Cons
Con Line spacing is small
This is a "pro" to me but some folks dislike the smaller space between lines (which is why it raises the underscore, which might otherwise vanish).
Con Single-storey lowercase 'a' (ey)
Looks like lowercase 'o' (oh).
Con Lower case letter m is just not as wacky as the original
