Better differentiate ° degree from º ordmasculine #400

Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The ° degree and º ordmasculine glyphs are very similar and hard to distinguish at most sizes.

Here are C°Cºªoa in weight=200,400,700, that's /C/degree/C/ordmasculine/ordfeminine/o/a:
Cascadia-Code-700-C°Cºªoa-16
Cascadia-Code-400-C°Cºªoa-16
Cascadia-Code-200-C°Cºªoa-16

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Some possible changes to /degree:

  • make is smaller
  • make it have a thinner stroke especially in normal and bolder weights.
  • make it sit at a different height from ordmasculine
    Possible change to /ordmasculine:
  • make it less round (although this one is hard with the proportions of other superscripts).
