Am I alone thinking this looks like a font issue?
That is, it looks like to me an use of all-capital font, where of course ß
will be rendered along with the other characters, with the same height
(ascent, descent) as p, f, e...
Also, I have seen fonts with upper-case sized ß, different (slightly
smaller) from the lower-case sized one; yet this fonts also had small caps
of still another height, and I believe nobody will make a case to introduce
just another set of Latin letters to support small caps (the differing
height ß was probably there to support proper display of full caps.)
This is not to say that upper case ß might exist, this I am not qualified to
answer.
