It's annoying. The Ps looks like thorns, the Ws look like two Vs, the Rs look unlike virtually all Rs I've ever seen and are identical to the Ys, and the Fs look like long Ss.
It's also inconsistent. It's supposed to look a bit like handwriting, but handwriting systems traditionally teach curves and strokes uniform angle. Look at Kurrent, Spencerian, Uncial, Palmer, even D'Nealian. This font not only shows differing methodology for descenders, but doesn't show a cohesive system.
It looks actually like a type of italic Roman with script like flourishes, but IDK which one. It's like a mix of Bembo and Garamond. I'm not a font person, so I don't really know.
The first one I notices was the p looking like a thorn. This is forgivable. I've been doing a translation thing from Old English for a couple weeks at school, so I was predisposed. Then, by 90 seconds in, I had decided it annoyed me. I took the screenshot at 2:30 two days ago. I've been stewing.
Here's the video to decide for yourself.

I'm harshing them because I don't like them that much.
