About the Lekton font
Lekton is a monospace typeface designed by ISIA Urbino, first released to Google Fonts on December 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 medium x-height at 73% 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 Lekton against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
