About the Rye font
Rye is a display typeface designed by Nicole Fally, first released to Google Fonts on August 2012. 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 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 Rye against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
