About the Crete Round font
Crete Round is a serif typeface designed by TypeTogether, first released to Google Fonts on December 2011. It ships with 1 weight · 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 73% of the cap height, normal letter forms and medium stroke contrast.
