About the Zen Antique font
Zen Antique is a serif typeface designed by Yoshimichi Ohira, first released to Google Fonts on August 2021. 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 low x-height at 65% of the cap height, normal 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 Zen Antique against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
