About the Rock Salt font
Rock Salt is a handwriting typeface designed by Sideshow, 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 low x-height at 59% of the cap height, expanded 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 Rock Salt against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
