About the Didact Gothic font
Didact Gothic is a sans-serif typeface designed by Daniel Johnson and Cyreal, first released to Google Fonts on May 2011. 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 Didact Gothic against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
