SS site text block line spacing gone wonky.

Help? The majority of my text blocks have suddenly gone squished! ...line spacing is compressed when viewing on Firefox, Chrome, and mobile - impacting readability, layout, and creating awkward spacing overall.

I'm using standard template blocks (and not custom CSS)... is this a known issue? Local issue? (Is there a fix??)

Thanks for any insight!

Can you share your website URL so I can take a look?

Thank you, @Ziggy ! My site is https://www.jamiephillips.coach/

UPDATE: it looks like the spacing issue is only with "Paragraph 1" text. Other headings seem unaffected.

Really appreciate any thoughts you might have on this.

All of a sudden in the last 24hrs it happened to my website too!

I was told it was a custom CSS issue but I deleted the entire custom CSS and it made no change. For me it's happening with all "paragraph" texts.

Really need this rectified ASAP

Are you applying any font styling with Custom CSS?

Squarespace are making some changes to how fonts and font styling is applied, and this might be the root of the problem.

@Daki86 I'm sorry your site is impacted, too, but at least we're not alone!? (maybe) 

@Ziggy I am not using any custom CSS on my site, currently... just standard/templated blocks & styles.

Appreciate the heads-up that SS is making some broader font styling changes. Should I just wait another day and see what happens? Or is there anything I can do in the meantime to fix/improve?

It looks like you have certain paragraph text set to a line height of 1.5px which is what's causing the problem, you probably want 1.5em instead.

You can try using !important on the font properties in Custom CSS as a temporary measure.

@well_hello_jamie - I managed to fix it by changing the line height to 1.2em instead of 1.5px just like @Ziggy suggested. All works!
