About the Ubuntu font
Ubuntu is a sans-serif typeface designed by Dalton Maag, first released to Google Fonts on December 2010. It ships with 4 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 75% 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 Ubuntu against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Ubuntu is the face in a screenshot you have? Run it through the free font identifier, or browse the full library of 1,935 open-source fonts for something with a similar feel.
