The right leg is reduced for thicker weights, eg. Bolds and Blacks, probably as optical corrections. Basicly, the thicker the weight, the smaller the leg. Myfonts offers a live preview where you type in your own text and they set this up in all the weights so you can easily see the difference.

Regular vs. Black below (blue), then it gets proper straight for the Textbook weights (pink).
