Not to be a stickler, but a dove tail is a sliding joint- the dovetail itself is a trapezoidal section with the narrow side facing the part it’s on.

The slot is similarly cut so it slides into place.

This is (basically) a fat biscuit join, which is good. Peg designs might be better - prefer pyramidal pegs, they self center and have more surface area for glue, and they print neater when they have suboptimal orientation to the print bed.

These all do slide together if I am not mistaken. They are just what I would call non traditional shapes... Though I watched the video a few days ago and maybe forgot something.
