About the Puritan font
Puritan is a sans-serif typeface designed by Ben Weiner, first released to Google Fonts on November 2010. It ships with 2 weights · 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 high x-height at 84% 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 Puritan against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
