About the Tinos font
Tinos is a serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson, first released to Google Fonts on May 2026. It ships with 2 weights · italic 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 70% 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 Tinos against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Tinos 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.
