Issues with Urbane letter height

Hi,

We are trying to use Urbane on our website. We are moving from a self-hosted solution to using Adobe Fonts (typekit).

When we use the Adobe Fonts version of Urbane in our staging environment, the font does not display correctly.

Lowercase letters u, v, w, x, and y are 1px shorter than other lowercase letters when displayed at 16px. The tittle of the “i” is nearly touching the stem, making it look like a lowercase L. 

The example below demonstrates how it almost makes the letters look like they’re in camelcase:

I have contacted Adobe support who say the only solution is to use another font! But that isn’t a solution when the brand font is Urbane. 

Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve?

Thanks,
Duncan
