Is this character a そ?


I'm learning Japanese and decided to pick up some manga in Japanese to improve
my reading. I found a preview of a manga I'll be receiving and had a look
inside. I found the following character, and everything tells me it's a そ, but
I'm not sure. Is it a weird font? Is it a certain common stylization?

Sure it is, there's two legit ways to write そ in Japanese.

Two strokes so

One stroke so

I suspect that the two strokes version is historical but usage made the one
stroke version more common. It is definitely not a weird font, just one you
didn't encounter yet.
