I want to elongate the ascenders in the whole alphabet, as I think the font in its original length is too short and Matthew is quite tall and slim. This seems like a very irrelevant reason to use, but fonts have sub-conscious effects on the brain, and for me having a taller typeface is more relevant.
Out of these experiments I prefer the second, as it keeps some of Cooper Black's style. However, a slimmer version of this letter may end up in the crossbar and stem joining look incorrect.
To reflect Matthew's comfort zone, I want to look into decreasing the size of the empty space in letters in the bowls, eyes and counters. Here I've experimented with an extreme shrinking of the eye, which I won't take forward.
