About the Fasthand font
Fasthand is a display typeface designed by Danh Hong and Neapolitan, first released to Google Fonts on May 2012. 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 47% 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 Fasthand against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Fasthand 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.
