That font is either a variable font (it comes with Windows only as a variable font) or it has had "instances" created form it and the overlaps were never cleaned up.

The overlaps are there in a variable font so that as the font, in an application that supports variable fonts, has the parameters adjusted, the font becomes lighter or heavier, or slanted, etc., which may include each piece being controlled separately stay overlapping.

I suspect Xara product, at least the desktop applications, will never support variable fonts.
