How can I edit a character in a font?

Question

Is there a way to edit a single character in a font? Specifically, I want to cut off the long arm of the lower case "k" on Le Havre font:

Is there a licensing rule that prohibits this? If not, what is the easiest way to do this? Thank you!

Physically you can't edit the font itself because the actual font file isn't made available to you via Adobe Fonts.

You can modify a character outside the context as its use within a font by using the character in, let's say, an Illustrator document, outlining the text, and then making the modifications you want, possibly for use in a logo, for example.

But you can't modify the font itself.
