Description

**In opsz 14**

@ wght 400 and wdth 100 Copyright and Registered have a very similar apparent weight and this is accomplished by letting the R in the circle in Registered use lighter strokes than are used in the C in Copyright. So far so good.

However when we move to 100 wght the strokes used for C hget lighter than R and the apparent weights start to differ

When we go to wght 1000 the opposite happens and the C gets too dark

**In 8 opsz**

the 100 wght is C is slightly too light

400 wght is fine

1000 the rings become distorted and a bit heavier than I'd prefer to see them

**144 opsz**

Separate from the questions raised below at 144 I think it is reasonable to let the Copyright and Registered signs diminish in relative size because as it is they are larger (or maybe better to say more visually prominent?) even than currency symbols and that just seems odd somehow.

1000 wght 100 wdth looks strangely wide. Maybe the strokes don't need to be so heavy and the circle can stay more mono-weight looking. Also the angle of the leg of the R deviates from the angle used elsewhere
image
at 400 wght the problems mostly go away except that the R looks heavier than the C
image
At 100 wght it is fine.
