on the frontend

--------------------------------+-----------------------------
Buttons with the `wp-element-button` class are missing key typography
styles—`font-style`, `text-transform`, `letter-spacing`, and `font-
weight`—on the frontend, even when these are defined at the root level in
Global Styles.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Activate Emptytheme (or a theme where button styles aren't overridden).
2. Go to Site Editor → Global Styles → Typography → Text → Update all
styles.
3. Insert a Search block.
4. Check the frontend — the above styles are not applied to the button.
**Expected:**
Styles should match what’s shown in the editor.
**Actual:**
Styles like `font-style` and `font-weight` are missing on the frontend.
