Sofia Pro Soft - All weights are 400

New Here ,
Oct 30, 2018 Oct 30, 2018

I want to add  Sofia Pro Soft in normal and italic light, regular and bold to a web project. However all the font weights are listed as 400. Did not have this issue with Typekit interface with same Typeface. Very frustrating.Screen Shot.jpeg

Sorry about that–we will get it fixed.  Here are the correct font weights for Sofia Pro Soft:

Light & Light Italic

font-weight: 300;

Regular & Regular Italic

font-weight: 400;

Medium & Medium Italic

font-weight: 500;

Bold & Bold Italic

font-weight: 700;

I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. (Moving this post to the Adobe Fonts forum)

We are having similar issues with Sofia pro where Semi bold is showing up as 700 (not 600) within Figma. We contacted figma and they verified that the meta data shows 700, but on Adobe fonts is says 600. We have a similar issue where Jubilat is wrong as well.

Hi @Joseph5D42,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I would like to inform you that the 600 weight is correct in the font file that Adobe Fonts is serving. Would you mind providing more context on how this is impacting your design?

 

We're here to help, just need some info.

 

Regards,

Tarun

this is what Figma said
----
Our engineering team have checked the font Metadata of the Sofia Pro font on Adobe Creative Cloud, and can see that the 'Semi Bold' style is set to the weight value of 700. So Figma is displaying this as 700 in Dev Mode, as it is the value that is currently correct in the font Metadata on Adobe's side.

Any update on this it has been a week...  I feel stuck in the middle between you and Figma. You say it is fine and Figma says it is a problem on your end. There is no way I can inspect the meta data, but if the font is displaying the wrong weight and saying it is because that is what the meta data says I kinda believe them.

Hi @Joseph5D42,

 

I would like to inform you that our product team has found what was causing the mismatch between the web and desktop font weights. To resolve this, our team updated the web font weights for semibold to 700 and bold to 800 (from 600/700) to align with the desktop files. This change will only apply to new web projects. So you've already created the web project to go with the design, you will need to remove Sofia Pro and add it back again to get the update.

 

Let us know if that helps.

 

Regards,

Tarun

Thanks for this and after looking at it some more it looks like font smoothing needs to be enabled. It seems that fonts are automatically antialiased within Figma so our design were not matching on our website also because we didn't have font smoothing enabled.

 

As you can see in the attached image the weight is very different when font smoothing is on or off. I would recommend adding this to the font details on fonts.adobe.com as an optional setting.

@Tarun Saini since you were able to assist me in regard to this font in the past I was wondering if you could anwser another questions. Do you know what version of Sofia is within the Adobe Font library? I see myfonts.com shows version 4.002 on their site, but I don't see a version number on Adobe. The issue is the font has verttical alignment issues and has been documented in another community post. I have contacted the font author, but I also want to verify what version we are using via Adobe.

Thanks
