About the Glass Antiqua font
Glass Antiqua is a display typeface designed by Denis Masharov, first released to Google Fonts on February 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 medium x-height at 75% 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 Glass Antiqua against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
