About the Young Serif font
Young Serif is a serif typeface designed by Bastien Sozeau, first released to Google Fonts on September 2023. 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 medium x-height at 67% 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 Young Serif against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
