About the Silkscreen font
Silkscreen is a display typeface designed by Jason Kottke, first released to Google Fonts on June 2022. It ships with 2 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 high x-height at 100% of the cap height, expanded 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 Silkscreen against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
