And let's select it, and then we'll duplicate it and rename it lcrPinchedCurve, so we'll add a little r here. As I mentioned before, it's helpful to have the character that uses the component near by as you make the edits. Let's actually just copy this and paste it next to the lowercase r. And let's grab the stem from the lowercase n and then paste our component. So there's the lcrPinchedCurve. We'll align it with the x height and then give it a 10 unit overshoot. So that's not a very nuanced r, so let's edit this lowercase r pinched curve, and give it a more horizontal stress. So I'm going to take these four points and delete them.
