vertical metrics bug on Azo Sans
Hello. This issue with the Azo Sans webfont is back https://community.adobe.com/t5/type-typography-discussions/azo-sans-wierd-line-height/td-p/11748226
The type designer confirmed all vertical metrics are the same across the font family.
The problem is visible even when browsing your website (see attached).
I'll try to suggested ascent-override CSS declaration, but nevertheless it would helpful to not have to rely on a "hack" to get the font to display properly.
Thank you.

There's a vertical alignment issue with two Adobe fonts – Area Variable and Loretta Variable – when embedded via Adobe embed. Text displays high on the line, and no CSS adjustments seem to fix it.
Area Variable: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/area-variable
Loretta Variable: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/loretta-variableThe fonts also show the misalignment on the Adobe Fonts site itself.
This appears to be a recurring problem with Adobe Fonts based on a number of similar reports for other fonts:
