Hi, @Jackson Bean and welcome to the forums.

Can you make a screen recording from your workflow? 

Sure!

Make sure the paths are not grouped, then select the ones to add, and first choose layer>geometry>merge curves, after that the add function should work.

If the above doesn't work, changing the order of the paths in the layer stack may help.

The add (and other boolean functions) are full of bugs. What you are seeing is one of them.

This worked. Thanks! Though I'm leaving the recording as well in case any developers want to look into the issue.

Which font was used to make the curves?

Try making an compound instead so, select both curves, and when you click on the Geometry add hold down option/alt this will create a compound shape and not distort the 'r'

The font used is "Retronic". Unfortunately, this does not fix the issue.

[Geometry "add" function warping shape]

Hello! When attempting to combine these two curves together, the result is a completely different shape. The "r" is being warped in such a weird way and I'm not sure why this might be happening.

Before the add:

 

After the add:

 

Any help is appreciated! Please be patient, I'm decently new to this.
