About the Courier Prime font
Courier Prime is a monospace typeface designed by Alan Dague-Greene, first released to Google Fonts on December 2019. It ships with 2 weights · italic 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 78% 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 Courier Prime against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
