Less might be more, but <http://nxg.me.uk/temp/lambda-r6.pdf> shows an adjustment.  The blue is a bit too light, the red a bit too pink, and the text could perhaps be a shade bigger, but the shape is not, I think, unpleasing.

All the best,

Norman

It's just '\r.', really, but with the lambda in a cursive font, the 'r.' in a modern one (Gill Sans), and some pretty aggressive tracking to make it into a unit.
