Description

When switching from vanila Roboto to Roboto Flex on Firefox, Chrome, Libre Office oa any app in windows, the results are worst. Roboto is know for being clear, but Roboto Flex looks jagged and chaotic in comparison. Some letters like "c", "e", "s" stick out because they seem to aligned horizontally. In this section there is one "t" that even looks different from all other "t" in the paragraph.
