Summary
Caladea is a Croscore extras font metriclly compatible with Cambria.
Description
The Chrome OS core fonts, also known as the Croscore fonts, are a collection of three TrueType font families: Arimo (sans-serif), Tinos (serif) and Cousine (monospace). These fonts are metrically compatible with Monotype Corporation’s Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New, the most commonly used fonts on Microsoft Windows operating system, for which they are intended as open-source substitutes.
Google licenses these fonts from Ascender Corporation under the Apache License 2.0.
In 2013, Google released an additional Crosextra (Chrome OS Extra) package, featuring Carlito (which matches Microsoft’s Calibri) and Caladea (matching Cambria). These two fonts are respectively metric-adjusted versions of Lato and Cambo, both available on Google Fonts.

It has the same character coverage as Microsoft Fonts Cambria. This font is sans-serif typeface family based on Lato. Caladea is a default Cambria font replace in the LibreOffice Suite.
