The 乚 stroke in the left 酉 part is sticking out a bit as circled. Affects both masters, although the ExtraLight weight is not obvious.

Also, as per issue #425, this is a CN glyph (uni914D-CN) shared with JP, KR and CN. I wonder if an unreleased JP glyph does not have this minor issue...


Sidenote: Kozuka Gothic has the 乚 stroke stand out on its own on the ExtraLight weight, which will deem this character incompatible with other regions if it was the unreleased JP glyph without all the decorative serifs.

Back to Source Han Sans, the variant glyph, uni914DuE0101-JP, located at CID 62943, does not have the issue at all (other than a very minor spacing issue between the two side components compared to the main CN glyph on the ExtraLight weight). The 乚 stroke is perfectly tucked in.

I found the same issue with other characters containing the left 酉 radical, so I changed the title accordingly.

As I said before, these issues could be rendered moot if proper JP glyphs were used instead.
