About the Sura font
Sura is a serif typeface designed by Carolina Giovagnoli, first released to Google Fonts on June 2015. It ships with 2 weights 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 71% of the cap height, normal 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 Sura against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
