I believe you need to look at the typeface as a whole, and not just one
character in isolation.
The decorations on the "i" character are not really to be considered as
serifs, I don't think. They are just part of the appearance of "i" in
that typeface.
You could compare it to the "i" character in the Ubuntu Mono font, or
even the "I" character, which is advertised (by experts in the field) to
be sans-serif:

That said, it's not like this is an exact science. There is quite a bit
of wiggle room within the broad categories "serif" and "sans-serif".
