About the Cinzel font
Cinzel is a serif typeface designed by Natanael Gama, first released to Google Fonts on October 2012. It ships with 6 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 high x-height at 86% of the cap height, expanded letter forms and high stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Cinzel against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Cinzel 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.
