About the Literata font
Literata is a serif typeface designed by TypeTogether, first released to Google Fonts on December 2018. It ships with 8 weights · italic · variable 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 72% 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 Literata against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
