Why does this font have at least 3 different zeroes? It doesn't seem consistent and creates additional confusion between alpha O and number 0.

You can choose which zero you want when you download the font package. What's inconsistent about this?
I didn’t realize you could choose a particular consistent zero. I just kept seeing arbitrary zeroes on subsequent lines of one single example text block without that context.
Ah I see.

If you scroll further down the page, you'll see there are actually 4 zeroes you can choose from and 2 sevens.
