About the Courgette font
Courgette is a handwriting typeface designed by Karolina Lach, first released to Google Fonts on July 2012. 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 67% 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 Courgette against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
