Different looking weight on a same weigth text

Question

Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue with InDesign 2024.

I am using the font "Josefin Sans" on these texts :

They randomly look like having different weights but everything is in "regular". How is that possible?
I only have this problem with this font.

Is Josefin Sans a variable font? InDesign 2024 (v19.x) has issues with displaying variable fonts correctly, reported here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/47344655-problem-with-variable-font-weights. Please go ahead and add your experience.

Based on my scan of that thread, it appears to still be unresolved. I believe if you return to version 18.5, for now, it will take care of it.
