About the Parisienne font
Parisienne is a handwriting typeface designed by Astigmatic, first released to Google Fonts on January 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 low x-height at 48% of the cap height, condensed letter forms and high stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Parisienne against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
