About the Caveat font
Caveat is a handwriting typeface designed by Impallari Type, first released to Google Fonts on September 2015. It ships with 4 weights · 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 45% 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 Caveat against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
