About the Vast Shadow font
Vast Shadow is a serif typeface designed by Nicole Fally, first released to Google Fonts on October 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 79% of the cap height, expanded 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 Vast Shadow against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
