Description

Strange and unnatural descender of the cyrillic letter "ц". It is obvious to russian-speaking people. Too compressed in 100-300 weights and too huge in 700-900. Weights 400-500 are acceptable. At the same time, a similar letter "щ" has almost normal descender (probably not perfect but pretty good). You can take it as an example to follow (including a slight skew).

Research direction
Inspect the font source files for the 'ц' character, compare with 'щ', and adjust the descender curves in the glyph outlines.
