About the Poly font
Poly is a serif typeface designed by Nicolás Silva, first released to Google Fonts on November 2011. It ships with 1 weight · italic 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 68% 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 Poly against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
