Several phenomenological features of fermion masses and mixings can be accounted for by a simple model for fermion mass matrices, which suggests an underlying U(2) horizontal symmetry. In this context, a way in which approximate relations between quark and lepton mass matrices can be achieved without unified gauge theories is proposed.
