I'm no expert.....on anything really! but looking at that R it appears to have been manually tweaked. I'd expect it to have the straight serif used on the A...Y etc. It just doesn't look quite right somehow.

Letter shapes are easily altered in Photoshop.

I haven't got the time to describe the method, but here's a guide ..




Here's a random letter 'R' that I have quickly (and very roughly!) altered in Photoshop.

It's a handy technique to learn to quickly modified the odd letter or two.

Rather than just adding a small modification to a letter, it's also possible to add other effects by adding more nodes to the path and extending them.

This is a very quick, simple example, but you can add very complicated curves and swooshes to make your text original...

Personally, if I was modifying letters in a font and thought that I may use that same font a few times in the future, then I would modify the actual font using a font editor and save it under a new name.

Cheers guys, I thought it might have been, I have close enough and have edited in corel now to get a good enough match - never used photoshop, so unable to know if it is easier in that than corel. Cheers for the help.

Its just as easy in Corel. Convert to curves and change whatever you want to.
