There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good to me. I've been accustomed to the 600 font weight Gutenberg UI for years, so it feels a little strange, but I guess this is the correct UI 😄

What?
Updates the
font-weight-mediumvariable in@wordpress/base-stylesfrom 500 to 499.Additionally updates existing
font-weight: 500styles to use this variable.Why?
To ensure a fallback to 400 (instead of 600) when a 400 weight doesn't exist.
I'm thinking we can add a stylelint rule after #71235 is merged.
Testing Instructions
Smoke test some of the affected UIs. Depending on your environment, you will either see no changes, or a 600 weight changed to a 400 weight.
