About the Barlow Condensed font
Barlow Condensed is a sans-serif typeface designed by Jeremy Tribby, first released to Google Fonts on October 2017. It ships with 9 weights · italic 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 72% 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 Barlow Condensed against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
