Poppins: Number 4 is strange on html

[alexandresebrao]

Describe the bug

Number 4 is behaving strangely on pure html, looking distorced when font-size < 17px

Expected behavior

The number four doesn't look small or bigger than 2 but same size

It's likely that the four is just one unit below the cap height and a small tweak will fix this.

@EbenSorkin

Thanks for the reply, just a question. Can I fix it on my side ( if so, can you suggest the changes I need to do) or need for a colaborator to make that fix?

[EbenSorkin]

I think it needs to be done by the designer or the Google fonts on boarder. I’ll ask.
