About the Shojumaru font
Shojumaru is a display typeface designed by Astigmatic, first released to Google Fonts on January 2012. 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 76% of the cap height, expanded letter forms and high stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Shojumaru against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
