About the Spirax font
Spirax is a display typeface designed by Brenda Gallo, first released to Google Fonts on November 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 58% of the cap height, normal letter forms and high stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Spirax against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Spirax is the face in a screenshot you have? Run it through the free font identifier, or browse the full library of 1,935 open-source fonts for something with a similar feel.
