Shadows Into Light is a handwriting typeface designed by Kimberly Geswein, available for free on Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License. It comes with 1 weight (Regular (400) only), making it well-suited for its intended use cases.

The key is consistency: use the same font across all your screenshots so the set reads as one cohesive design.
