    Kenny,

    Basically, you can (working on a copy of outlined Type) cut the letters to get outer and inner paths, then use 1 step blends between them.

    Or you can try this exquisite script kindly made available by Theunis:

    Most probably you will get the best and easiest result when just drawing it.

    The "blend" method requires a lot of preparation anyway.

    The script method doesn't allow your own fonts.
