Comment:

 Welcome to Trac, @dogwonder! Thank you for the report!

 Variations within a particular font (e.g. Colfax Web) should be individual
 `fontFace` arrays under a shared top-level `fontFamily`. Please refer to
 the "Secondary" font in the code sample from
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/global-settings-and-
 styles/settings/typography/#registering-web-fonts-font-faces Registering
 web fonts (font faces)].

 As noted in related ticket #59911, in 6.4 the rendered `@font-face` values
 are determined by the first font that is found in the
 `typography.fontFamilies.fontFamily` prop (see
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/54615 GB PR 54615]). The font
 resolver expects one top-level `fontFamily` per face, so each subsequent
 re-defining of the same font overwrites the last, causing the behavior
 you've noted.

 I recommend checking out the [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes
 /global-settings-and-styles/settings/typography/ `theme.json` docs] or
 forums (https://wordpress.org/support/forums/) for additional details and
 support. Please feel free to reopen this ticket if I've missed something
 and adjusting the theme.json isn't working as expected.
