Yes (although more about weight than size). In a text face busy letters (like often the "s" as well) have to look lighter when large/magnified in order to end up looking the correct weight at small sizes.

Also, I believe a good binocular "g" must necessarily look a bit small and a bit vertically cramped in order to avoid more important things going out of whack across the font as a whole.

Thanks for clearing that up hrant. Another thing is can you tell me roughly how much of weight goes into it generally speaking? From what I can tell it's always a tad less by about 20% than say for a p, P, O, o, e, a and the loop matches that of the spine of an s" in some cases Is that about right?

Dunno - I've never measured - I eyeball.
