About the Allerta font
Allerta is a sans-serif typeface designed by Matt McInerney, first released to Google Fonts on November 2010. 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 77% of the cap height, normal letter forms and medium stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Allerta against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Allerta 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.
