ChronicleDisplay-Semibold.woff2 displays incorrect font-weight #262
Description
Summary
After reviewing Figma designs that use Chronicle Display – Semibold against its WOFF2 counterpart on the web, @forrest-for-real determined that the font was inaccurately communicating its font weight, causing display parity issues between Figma and the web.
Solution
@forrest-for-real noted that the in Figma, the file reported an internal font-weight: 375. This was updated to font-weight: 600 via FontForge — the weight used on the web and the expected Semibold value. This may be due to a history of unofficial conversions between font formats (e.g., TTF to WOFF2), though we’re not certain. Access to the original fonts from the foundry is not possible.
When the edited font was applied in Figma, it now correctly reports itself as font-weight: 600.
@chrisfalaska will upload the updated font to Contentstack and deploy it to all environments.
