Windows 10: Why do the fonts on some websites look like this?

This has been happening a lot lately, but I always brushed it off. Whenever I go to certain websites the wording looks like this instead of actual fonts. It does it on Chrome and Edge. I have never deleted fonts that were pre installed and do not really mess with codes or anything like that. I am able to highlight, copy and paste and see the actual wording on the websites. Any help would be appreciated.
