Lowercase R seems misfit #23

Although the letter i also has a small horizontal underline, the letter r has a completely different shape compared to other letters, and the horizontal lines drawn at the bottom and at the mouth of the letter aren't interesting.

Hello, and thanks for the comment. After feedback from users, this character was drawn to eliminate potential confusion with other letters.

Additionally, some lowercase letters are conventionally narrow (f i j l r t). The monospaced premise requires these letters to have proportions that may feel wider than convention would suggest.
