I like cyrillic a lot, but it's a lot more "domineering" than the Latin alphabet, due to all the angles a lot of its letters have, especially in sans serif fonts. A lot of the lower case letters just look like the capital forms. There is a kind of elegance to the more times-roman style fonts, and the cursive looks quite fancy. But overall, i think the Latin alphabet has it for simplicity, and softness (unless you write in CAPS THEN IT LOOKS AS DOMINEERING AS CYRILLIC :)).
