About the Datatype font
Datatype is a monospace typeface designed by Frank Tisellano, first released to Google Fonts on March 2026. It ships with 9 weights · variable 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 74% 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 Datatype against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
