About the Modern Antiqua font
Modern Antiqua is a display typeface designed by Wojciech Kalinowski, first released to Google Fonts on July 2011. 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 medium x-height at 71% 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 Modern Antiqua against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
