About the Margarine font
Margarine is a display typeface designed by Astigmatic, first released to Google Fonts on November 2012. 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 high x-height at 88% 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 Margarine against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
