About the PT Sans Caption font
PT Sans Caption is a sans-serif typeface designed by ParaType, first released to Google Fonts on September 2010. It ships with 2 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 75% 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 PT Sans Caption against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
