certain text/fonts are way too thin in Chrome (compared to Edge and Firefox)

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Jan 4 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://theholisticmama.com/put-down-the-pedialyte-heres-7-healthy-alternatives/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
go to this website http://theholisticmama.com/put-down-the-pedialyte-heres-7-healthy-alternatives/ in Chrome and Edge and look at just how thin the text is in Chrome, it's almost unreadable. I would almost say there is a 'bug' here, the font is not rendering correctly in Chrome, it's not meant to be wire-thin like this 

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
screenshots attached. I did not include a screenshot of Firefox because it looks the same as Edge

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

this one is more of a bug, it's not a subtle difference, I suspect there's an actual issue here, at least with that font

I have the same issue with Version 69.0.3497.92 (Official Build) (64-bit), Mac 10.13.6. Although issue is not observed on the page mentioned in original report, it is seen on multiple other pages.

The original report is Windows only, restricting edits to avoid broadening the scope of this bug.
