Tested this issue in Notepad and Inkscape as well. Both of these programs allow you to select "Overpass" from the list and then pick from a list of styles. Here, SemiBold and SemiBold Italics both work.

However, in Microsoft Word 2016 on Windows 10 (likely affects other versions of Word and Windows, but currently can't test any others), the basic styles appear as separate fonts. For example, if I want ExtraLight Italics, I select Overpass ExtraLight and then press the italics button.

The issue here is that SemiBold already appears italicized. Pressing the italics button has no effect. Even weirder, Overpass SemiBold test appears invisible when printed. All other Overpass text appears fine when printed.

The problem is style group is not correct in the SemiBold Italic font.
It has Overpass SemiBold as the style group.
It should be Overpass Light like in the SemiBold Regular font.
Right now Light, Light Italic, and SemiBold are in the Overpass Light style group.
And the SemiBold Italic is in the Overpass SemiBold style group.
This confuses applications which work with style groups such as Word and LibreOffice.
I first discovered this issue when testing the fonts on LibreOffice on Windows 10.
After I fixed the SemiBold Italic font it all worked fine.

I have notice effectively that the Overpass SemiBold and Overpass SemiBold Italic don't have both the same style group.
But Overpass Semibold Italic has the correct style ( "FontFamily": Overpass SemiBold) with a Weight of 600.
It is the Overpass SemiBold font that has an incorrect style or fontFamily, it should be "Overpass SemiBold"! It has the correct Weight of 600.
These fonts can be checked on this site.

Look at the "Data" infos.

If you download Overpass fonts from Google fonts, these fonts are well tagged on these attributes!
(But these "Thin" and "Extralight" fonts don't have the correct same Weight)
