I stumbled across a problem with faux bold option while working with text layer. For some reason text becomes even bolder when it reaches certain sizes(depends on dpi of the file).
Here's a font at size 37
And here's the same text but at size 38.
It never really happened before and the same problem applies to every font I have.

Open the Character panel (Window menu). Look at the bottom where the icons are and click "B" to turn off fake (faux) bold.
This is a character setting.
- To turn off faux bold for existing text, select the text first
- To turn off faux bold for future text, just turn it off
