About the Permanent Marker font
Permanent Marker is a handwriting typeface designed by Font Diner, first released to Google Fonts on January 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 high x-height at 83% 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 Permanent Marker against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
