About the Zen Dots font
Zen Dots is a display typeface designed by Yoshimichi Ohira, first released to Google Fonts on March 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 medium x-height at 72% 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 Zen Dots against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
