About the Devonshire font
Devonshire is a handwriting typeface designed by Astigmatic, first released to Google Fonts on November 2011. It ships with 1 weight 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 62% 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 Devonshire against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
