About the Libre Caslon Text font

Its measured character is a medium x-height at 69% 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 Libre Caslon Text against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
