He is talking about Helvetica Neue Ultra Light.

Ok, so you apparently go to the "More options" in Impress from the Sidebar
Character formatting section in the properties from its hamburger-style icon.
In the dialog that pops up I assume you pick "Ultra light" from the Style
dropdown.

Sure, we can swing this by the design team, but my spider sense is tingling for
a WONTFIX status..
