About the Lancelot font
Lancelot is a display typeface designed by Marion Kadi, first released to Google Fonts on November 2011. 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 51% of the cap height, condensed 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 Lancelot against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
