About the REM font
REM is a sans-serif typeface designed by Octavio Pardo, first released to Google Fonts on July 2023. It ships with 9 weights · italic · variable 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 72% 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 REM against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
