Vertical alignment of Obviously web font incorrect

Hi,
We're using the Obviously web font on our website and compared to other type faces I'm seeing all instances of this typeface being set higher in vertical alignment. This means EVERY instance needs unequal padding set to balance it out. All other css styles I've used to correct this don't seem to work and my research suggest this is just something wrong with the typeface itself. I'm also tempted to contact the typeface author and ask what gives.

Does anyone have some suggestions for how to resolve this? Have you noticed this with other Adobe web fonts. Ultimately  I'll spend a day adding padding EVERYWHERE on our site but it's not really a great solution to something that could  be fixed on the typeface itself.

I've tried both the fixed and variable typefaces but both are incorrectly set.

      Hi Tarun,
      These are from the latest version of Chrome on Windows. I've tested on Safara and Chrome on Mac also. All display the typeface with the same spacing so it doesn't seem to be browser rending. 

      Cheers,
      Pete
