It might be just antialiasing on Mac. They do this quite heavily, but in most recent MacOS version global setting to control font aliasing was removed.

I ended up using SemiLight instead of Regular.

How do you use SemiLight instead of regular? Do you do something like Cascadia Code SemiLight because I don't think it works like that

Just name it in FontFamily field:

On MacOS it's also possible to disable individual fonts, so if this trick won't work, you can always just disable Cascadia Code Regular globally. But it will be disabled for all apps on the system then...

Thanks so much! I works now. I had to disable the font
