About the Blaka Ink font
Blaka Ink is a display typeface designed by Mohamed Gaber, first released to Google Fonts on February 2022. It ships with 1 weight and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a high x-height at 80% of the cap height, condensed letter forms and low stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Blaka Ink against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Blaka Ink is the face in a screenshot you have? Run it through the free font identifier, or browse the full library of 1,935 open-source fonts for something with a similar feel.
