About the Cousine font
Cousine is a monospace typeface designed by Steve Matteson, first released to Google Fonts on November 2010. 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 high x-height at 80% of the cap height, normal letter forms and medium stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Cousine against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
