About the Mada font
Mada is a sans-serif typeface designed by Khaled Hosny and Paul D. Hunt, first released to Google Fonts on July 2017. It ships with 8 weights · 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 74% of the cap height, normal letter forms and low stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Mada against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Mada 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.
