About the GFS Didot font
GFS Didot is a serif typeface designed by Greek Font Society, first released to Google Fonts on September 2010. 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 medium x-height at 66% of the cap height, normal 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 GFS Didot against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
