About the Vollkorn font
Vollkorn is a serif typeface designed by Friedrich Althausen, first released to Google Fonts on September 2010. It ships with 6 weights · italic · variable 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 68% 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 Vollkorn against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
