About the Archivo Black font
Archivo Black is a sans-serif typeface designed by Omnibus-Type, first released to Google Fonts on September 2012. 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, expanded 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 Archivo Black against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
