About the Ballet font
Ballet is a handwriting typeface designed by Omnibus-Type and Maximiliano Sproviero, first released to Google Fonts on September 2020. It ships with 1 weight · variable 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 low x-height at 28% of the cap height, condensed 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 Ballet against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Ballet 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.
