About the Palanquin font
Palanquin is a sans-serif typeface designed by Pria Ravichandran, first released to Google Fonts on January 2015. It ships with 7 weights 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 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 Palanquin against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Palanquin 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.
