The capital R needs to be nice and tall and the lowercase r needs the extra space for the small shoulder at the top.

The extra space is needed as the lowercase r is a smaller letter that requires more precision to write correctly.

If the top of the letter r is written too flat it will start to look like a v, and if it is written with too much of an angle, the words will be uneven.
