About the Gaegu font
Gaegu is a handwriting typeface designed by JIKJI SOFT, first released to Google Fonts on February 2018. It ships with 3 weights 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 66% of the cap height, condensed 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 Gaegu against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
