About the Joan font
Joan is a serif typeface designed by Paolo Biagini, first released to Google Fonts on April 2022. 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 65% of the cap height, normal letter forms and medium stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Joan against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
