About the Chilanka font
Chilanka is a handwriting typeface designed by SMC and Santhosh Thottingal, first released to Google Fonts on May 2016. 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 medium x-height at 69% of the cap height, normal 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 Chilanka against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
