I tried playing around with the stroke width modifier tool. I also know from watching documentaries on typefaces that for the most part there are done with the pen tool around the edge of the object (in this case a letter). I was just wondering if it can be done with strokes.
Is it possible I can make the feet of my 'A' look like the one in the 'ABC' (font there is Times)? I have always wondered how to do this.

Most typefaces are not done with strokes in that way. Certainly a design like you posted is done by creating the outlines manually. You could try a stroke for the stems and then attaching a drawn serif to the ends
