About the Fira Sans font
Fira Sans is a sans-serif typeface designed by Carrois Apostrophe, first released to Google Fonts on June 2014. It ships with 9 weights · 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 77% of the cap height, normal 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 Fira Sans against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
