About the Bona Nova font
Bona Nova is a serif typeface designed by Capitalics and Mateusz Machalski and Andrzej Heidrich, first released to Google Fonts on April 2021. It ships with 2 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 66% 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 Bona Nova against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
