About the Lateef font
Lateef is a serif typeface designed by SIL International, first released to Google Fonts on March 2015. It ships with 7 weights 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 74% 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 Lateef against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Lateef is the face in a screenshot you have? Run it through the free font identifier, or browse the full library of 1,935 open-source fonts for something with a similar feel.
