About the Cantarell font
Cantarell is a sans-serif typeface designed by Dave Crossland, first released to Google Fonts on May 2010. 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 70% of the cap height, normal 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 Cantarell against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
