Design critique of the alphabet

Design critique of the alphabet. "Puhleez! The capital I without the crossbars top and bottom is either the laziest piece of design in history, or an elegant stroke of modernism. With the crossbars it's just clunky, boring and awkward. The lowercase i is kind of cute with that little dot, I suppose, but I'm not really buying it. This one should have never made it out of the comp stage."
