Hm. I'm not seeing that issue in VS Code myself. It may be caused by multiple font installs causing issues. I would suggest uninstalling all versions of the fonts, restarting, and reinstalling.
I did, more than once. If I install the static TTF or OTF fonts, then I can set the font to "Cascadia Code Light"
Hm. I'm afraid I'm not sure what's going on for you! Given that you're on a mac, just go ahead and use the OTFs. :)
It looks like this is the same issue as #500, so I'll close this and continue discussion over there.
BTW, out of interest, can you provide a bit more information about the system / VS Code version that you're using? I feel like this is likely a platform-specific issue but want to make sure.

What happened?
I used to use the static fonts but followed the suggestion in the ReadMe that the TTF has better hinting and should be used.
Checking in Font Book shows a lot of weights:
I'd like to use a lighter weight in VS Code, but if I set it to 300, the font is all italic:
It seems to work as expected in Terminal where I can use a GUI to set the weight:
as you can see, it looks like Light here:
