Well, apparently, it's just *that* bold, and in fact, the lightest rendering mode is the autohinter.

EDIT: Haha! It's that bold, because there's also a SemiBold weight .

Which ones are you using? (If you're *not* using any of the bold variants, the boldening will be synthetic, and that's also usually ends up being *very* bold).
As reported here, my first try has been to side-load four fonts (reg, it, bold, bold-it). But, of course, the resulting "bold" was too strong for the use I intended: to provide an slightly bolder display for sustained standard reading (not only for titles).

So, I intently side-loaded only the regular and italic fonts and got a -synthetic- slightly bolder display that I could use for standard reading.

I lost it recently and I am at a loss to find it again. Maybe there will be a way to tune this "synthetic" boldening?
