About the Six Caps font
Six Caps is a sans-serif typeface designed by Vernon Adams, first released to Google Fonts on February 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 high x-height at 89% of the cap height, condensed letter forms and medium stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Six Caps against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
